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 shoot 'em up where you blast waves of alien ships across multiple missions and worlds, with a focus on upgrading your arsenal and surviving increasingly tough encounters.

What players say

Players call it a solid old-school shmup with satisfying progression through unlocking ships and upgrades. The mission types are more varied than most shooters, but the weapons tend to shoot straight forward and ships don't feel drastically different.
