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 challenging, fast-paced retro-style shooter where you pilot a helicopter to rescue hostages and destroy enemy bases.

What players say

Players call this a clear homage to Choplifter and Fort Apocalypse, remixed as a fast twin-stick shooter. It is intentionally difficult and many wish for an easier mode or upgrades. The lack of native controller support is a common complaint, though Steam input can work around it.
