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.

A frantic, neon-drenched shooter that demands quick reflexes and pattern memorization as you chase high scores.

What players say

Players call it a timeless arcade classic from the Xbox 360 era, praising its simple, addictive twin-stick action and soundtrack. Many note it gets difficult quickly, and the PC version lacks achievements.
