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-paced arcade space shooter where you blast through waves of enemies, collect power-ups, and upgrade your ship each run in a colorful pixel-art universe.

What players say

Players describe it as Star Fox reimagined as a roguelike, praising its pick-up-and-play arcade action and Steam Deck performance. Many note it is content-light, though updates have added levels and bosses. Some find runs too similar due to limited power-up variety, while others enjoy the escalating chaos.
