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 frantic but charming arcade shooter where you dodge dense bullet patterns with a cute, cartoonish breakfast rescue theme.

What players say

A short, cheerful horizontal shooter with a cereal mascot. It is considered easy for genre veterans, though some find bullets hard to see, adjusting the background dim setting fixes that. Veterans may not find it challenging, but new players call it a good introduction.
