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

A disorienting and fast-paced arcade shooter where minimalistic visuals and psychedelic colors create a confusing challenge.

What players say

Players agree the pastel art makes enemy bullets nearly invisible, which some see as a deliberate difficulty mechanic and others as a design flaw. The music and mouse-based controls are praised, and the game is compared to Ikaruga for its color-based challenge. Opinions split on whether the visual confusion is a clever feature or a frustrating problem.
