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 run-and-gun shooter where you blast everything in sight through explosive, bone-crushing levels.

What players say

Players are split on this 1996 side-scroller. Some praise the pixel art and fast run-and-gun action, but many others call it a nostalgia cash grab because it lacks modern features like save points, widescreen support, and even music. The difficulty is punishing enough that some say they cannot make progress even with cheats.
