The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frantic, hand-drawn side-scroller that feels like a chaotic, difficult arcade romp from the past with a humorous, lighthearted tone.

What players say

Players are split on Alien Hominid HD: some enjoy its challenging, arcade-style action and hand-drawn art, while others find it frustratingly difficult, repetitive, and note the lack of diagonal shooting as a flaw.
