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 fast-paced mashup of classic arcade shooters and brick-breaking, with simple mechanics and occasional enemy attacks from destroyed bricks.

What players say

Players describe it as a mix of Arkanoid and Galaga that is fun in short bursts, but many find it far too easy and short, with one reviewer noting all modes can be beaten in ninety minutes. The ball physics are also criticized for being less responsive than classic Arkanoid.
