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, old-school arcade shooter where you dodge bullet patterns and collect power-ups to survive increasingly tough enemy waves.

What players say

Players describe it as a nostalgic arcade-style bullet hell where you fly a plane and shoot waves of enemies. It's a simple game that gets hard fast, and the small play area makes faster planes feel unwieldy. Comparisons to Luftrausers and MiniSquadron come up, and for its price players find it a decent value.
