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, arcade-style vertical shooter where you adjust weapon formations to blast through waves of enemies in short, high-score runs.

What players say

Players say ImageStriker is a short, accessible free shoot-'em-up that is easy on normal difficulty. The drone mechanic that lets you aim forward, sides, or rear goes mostly unused. Some note the soundtrack is a highlight, while others complain about reused bosses and questionable hitboxes on harder settings.
