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

This game is a brutally difficult, old-school 2D bullet hell space shooter that demands precision and persistence, with a light-hearted but relentless challenge.

What players say

Players are split: some find the game addictively challenging, while many others call it slow, boring, and artificially difficult. Common complaints include a sluggish ship, forced server connection attempts that hang the game, no volume slider, and heavy reliance on random upgrades.
