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 blistering, pixel-heavy arcade shooter that feels like a modern homage to classic bullet-hell chaos.

What players say

Players are split on this C64 remake. Some enjoy the simple arcade loop and unique boss battles, but many criticize the floaty controls, excessive particle effects that obscure the action, and broken achievements. The developer appears to have abandoned the game since 2018.
