The gameplay is characterized by a simple yet engaging one-button mechanic that allows the cat to move forward automatically, requiring only precise timing for jumps.

Replayability is a strong point of the game, allowing players to engage in short sessions while also encouraging them to revisit levels to achieve full completion by unlocking and collecting "stars." This design promotes both casual play and deeper exploration of the game's content.
- “Replayability is a positive factor of the title since you can easily use the game in short sessions, but as anticipated, to complete the 'stars' of each level, you can repeat the same once unlocked.”
