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

Building your own ship piece by piece goes hand-in-hand with frantic aerial combat against other players.

What players say

Players love the detailed ship-building and fast combat, but the multiplayer is dead and the developer stopped supporting the game. Most say it is only worth it with friends, and newcomers face a steep grind against maxed-out veterans.
