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 blistering, high-speed arcade dogfight where every second is a rush of dodging bullets and tearing through giant robots.

What players say

Players praise Jet Lancer as a worthy successor to Luftrausers with incredibly satisfying flight and combat. Many note the game is very hard but fair, especially the score attack missions, though some players split on the new game+ difficulty scaling. A few mention occasional performance slowdowns and the characters as obnoxious.
