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 vertical shoot 'em up that blends classic arcade intensity with ARPG-style grinding, making every run a mix of skill and stat-min-maxing.

What players say
Players split on this bullet-hell shooter. Some praise the Diablo-style loot, skill trees, and permanent upgrades. Others call it a bad mobile port with repetitive levels, ugly art, ear-bleeding music, and performance issues tied to display refresh rate.
