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
Frantic and fluid arcade shooting with pixel art explosions and relentless enemy waves.

What players say
Players describe it as a modern roguelite take on the arcade classic Defender, not Joust. They praise the retro visuals and Steam Deck performance, but warn that levels look the same, upgrades feel grindy, and some weapons or enemies are overpowered. The community is split on whether the requirement to replay from the start for the full ending is fair.
