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

Blasting through swarms of giant insects in a customisable robot while managing overheating and flight feels like a frantic, high-mobility arcade shooter.

What players say

Players find this mech game unbalanced, with a fragile player mech and scarce ammunition that forces desperate booster-sniping against swarms. Bosses that are far tougher than normal enemies compound the frustration, though checkpoint restarts with full ammo are available at a cost.
