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 relentless, fast-paced bullet hell that demands precision and endurance, with screen-filling projectile patterns that feel overwhelming yet methodical.

What players say

Players call this a weird mobile port of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou that is more of an arrange than a direct port. They appreciate its low price and easy accessibility, but note choppy animation, weak explosion sound effects, and no English support (a fan patch exists). Most recommend it as a quirky, simplified version that is fun once you adjust.
