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 fast-paced, comical arcade shoot-'em-up with colorful pixel visuals and satisfying score-chasing mechanics.

What players say

Players say this Psikyo arcade shooter improves on the first game with a vibrant style and multiple endings, though the port is very bare-bones. It is noticeably harder than Gunbird 1, and the soundtrack gets high praise.
