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 high-energy, retro-styled shoot 'em up where you pilot mechs through chaotic bullet-hell battles, powering up on the fly.

What players say

Players praise the retro sci-fi art style but criticize the shooting as limited to four directions, making run-and-gun difficult. Frustration with grindy upgrades and an early spider swarm that cannot be outrun is common. The game is still in early access with only two stages and few weapons.
