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 classic 2D shoot 'em up with exploration and tough duel-like boss battles, set in a medieval fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise its mix of classic shmup action with metroidvania-lite exploration and weapon upgrades borrowed from Mega Man. However, keyboard support is broken, and veterans warn the Definitive Edition adds little beyond co-op and language options to the original game.
