The graphics of the game have received high praise for their colorful and charming artwork, which many players find visually appealing and enjoyable. While some comparisons highlight a more flat, 2-dimensional style that makes hidden elements stand out, the overall aesthetic is considered delightful and enhances the gaming experience. Additionally, the option to switch to black and white adds an interesting layer to the visual presentation.
- “The coloration adds a nice twist and the artwork is very nice to look at.”
- “It's a really great game and the artwork is amazing!”
- “I love the colored artwork.”
- “I guess, in comparison to 100 hidden Christmas cats, whose artwork had a depth of field and was more detailed in nature (which meant cats were able to hide more skillfully), the artwork is more flat and 2-dimensional looking -- which makes the cats stand out more.”
- “More ‘spot the anomaly in the pattern’ than ‘find the cat’ due to the distorted and weird shapes of the felines, but the colorful artwork is well drawn and the cats are quite well hidden.”
- “Good thing is that you can change the color to black and white, and for me the game was then much more aesthetic.”

The game offers some replayability due to its charming art style and relaxing gameplay, but it lacks uniqueness and depth, as players primarily engage in finding hidden cats in similar settings. This limits its overall replay value, making it less time-intensive and varied compared to other titles in the genre.
- “Every one is just a single picture with a hundred cats hidden around to be found, so not particularly replayable or time-intensive, but the art style is charming and it can be a very relaxing, enjoyable play.”
- “The game is replayable, yet lacks uniqueness outside of the series.”
stability

The game exhibits several stability issues, including buggy camera zooming in corner placements, noticeable music looping, unexpected transparency of some cats in colored mode, and confusion with button labels in the settings menu. These problems contribute to a less polished user experience.
- “Zooming the camera is buggy when placed on a corner, it is easy to tell when the music loops (which isn't a good thing), some cats are transparent for unknown reasons in colored mode, and some buttons on the settings menu are easy to get mixed up with the label (or the image).”
