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-style on-rails shooter that feels like a classic space shoot 'em up, with intense action and a sci-fi retro atmosphere.

What players say

Players call this a barebones port of a Game Boy Advance shmup that keeps the original's pseudo-3D look. The game is short, around one to two hours, and reviewers praise the soundtrack but warn of a sharp difficulty jump in later levels. Some report emulator slowdown when the screen gets busy, and the port lacks options like resolution or shader filters.
