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 top-down arena shooter where endless waves of aliens swarm the player, demanding constant movement and trigger discipline.

What players say

Players call it a short but fun nostalgic shooter, with a clear goal: grind up to a powerful weapon. Some note the campaign is only about two hours long and that the higher difficulty demands a specific gun early on. The soundtrack is a highlight for several players.
