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

Zipping through neon-drenched pixel art levels, sliding and blasting aliens in frantic cooperative mayhem.

What players say

Players compare this run-and-gun to Contra and appreciate its retro pixel art and music. Many note the difficulty curve becomes unfair in later stages, and platforming and ladder controls feel stiff.
