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 and brutal arcade shooter that throws relentless waves of enemies at you, demanding quick reflexes and non-stop action.

What players say

Players are split on this arcade bullet-hell arena shooter. Some enjoy the challenge and appreciate the solo developer's responsiveness, but many complain about sluggish controls, getting stuck on terrain, repetitive waves, and crashes. The game forces a full restart on death.
