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.

What players say

Players praise the mouse controls, unlockable ships with unique perks, and the ammo system that forces powerup reliance. The game is quick to pick up, but some find it too hard and note controller use is preferable. Linux users had launch problems that the developer later resolved.
