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 high-speed, frantic arcade shooter where you dive into enemies to survive and rack up combos.

What players say

Players call it an addictive twist on Asteroids where you ram meteors and enemies at their weak spots instead of shooting. The difficulty ramps fairly, and every death feels like the player's fault. Some wish for more control options or the ability to disable screen shake.
