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 arcade shooter with tight controls and a satisfying combo system, evoking the feel of an era-appropriate gameboy title.

What players say

Players call this a score-chasing arcade shooter that is quick to pick up but hard to put down. It has four levels, fifteen weapons, and unlockable color palettes, with comparisons to Super Crate Box and TowerFall. Reviews split on difficulty: some beat it quickly, others struggle with boss fights.
