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 2D shooter where every enemy fights smart, forcing you to dodge, predict, and adapt.

What players say

Players find Hallo Spaceboy a challenging old school shoot 'em up with automatic firing and slow mouse-follow ship movement. Weapon powerups and ship upgrades come between levels, but weapon swapping is not possible and some weapons are weak.
