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, demanding side-scroller where cute pixel characters contrast with relentless enemy waves and tough boss fights.

What players say

Players praise the charming pixel art, music, and classic shmup feel, but are frustrated by the lack of any settings, no volume control, and technical bugs. Difficulty is moderate but dying resets your power completely, and controller support is limited.
