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 straightforward, fast-paced vertical shooter with retro pixel graphics and customizable difficulty, focusing on precise shooting and power-up progression.

What players say

A simple retro shooter that fans of Tiger Heli will recognize. Players note there are no bombs, only two weapon types, and the same music track loops through every stage. Several reviews warn that dying mid-level makes the game nearly impossible because you respawn with weak weapons. Opinions split on whether the price is fair for its short content and repetitive level design.
