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 frantic beat 'em up that blends retro arcade action with light build-crafting between waves.

What players say

Players describe it as a cheap, hand-drawn homage to Metal Slug with seven distinct characters and a steep difficulty that can be bypassed by earning coins for infinite lives. Fans praise the smooth controls and character variety, but warn the graphics are simple, there is no tutorial, and key bindings cannot be changed.
