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

An intense, retro-inspired space shooter with fast-paced bullet-hell action and colorful pixel graphics.

What players say

Players praise the responsive controls and satisfying shooting, but many note the campaign is short at around 8 hours. Some find the level design repetitive, while others appreciate the enemy variety and the unique 'soft arena' mechanic that punishes retreating.
