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 2D side-scrolling shooter where you destroy enemies and use scraps for powerful attacks.

What players say
Players praise the surprisingly deep scoring system built around absorbing enemy scrap to power attacks, comparing its complexity to Ikaruga. The game is short but offers unlimited continues for casual play, while score chasers can use challenge mode. Reviews note the charming retro visuals and bizarre story, though some find the normal difficulty punishing with tight resource management.
