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

Glorkian Warrior feels like a chaotic, silly Saturday morning cartoon where you constantly blast aliens while jumping between asteroids with a magic backpack.

What players say

Players describe this as Galaga with a walking platform and a comic-strip sense of humor. It is simple and repetitive, but the unlock system keeps runs feeling meaningful. Some find it too shallow after a few hours, while others sink dozens into chasing high scores.
