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 chaotic retro arcade shooter with rapid side-scrolling action and bullet-hell combat against bizarre enemies.

What players say

Players praise this as a tight horizontal bullet hell with bizarre, psychedelic visuals and deliberately goofy sound effects. It is short but dense, throwing varied enemy layouts and setpieces at the player without filler. Some wish it were longer, but call the content fat-free and well-designed.
