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

It feels like a classic arcade shooter with fast vertical scrolling, flashy bullet patterns, and lighthearted comedic character banter.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful re-release of a Psikyo arcade classic with no input lag and good performance. Many find it easier than other Psikyo shooters but still challenging, and players are split on the final stage and boss being frustrating.
