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 top-down bullet hell with pixel graphics and mechs, where you blast through hordes to rack up points.

What players say

A modern bullet hell disguised in 8-bit graphics, built by a veteran shmup player who prioritized gameplay. Players praise the story mode as a clever training tool that breaks levels into practice chunks. Opinions split on the plain stage design and enemy reuse.
