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 frustrating physics-based challenge where you meticulously control a UFO through increasingly difficult stages, provoking rage with each failure.

What players say

Players describe a physics-based game where controlling a UFO is frustratingly touchy and the slightest bump causes instant death. Many mention that the Steam inventory rewards were disabled years ago, and some call the game unfinished.
