“I really enjoyed this game; I loved the medieval theme and music.”
“A lovely short cat-seeking game set in one medieval style scene with appropriate style music playing in the background.”
“Nicely done artwork but somehow distracting disturbing medieval music (for me).”
“At this point I had to turn off the music--that's my only gripe with this game--the music is a short loop so quite repetitious and too 'upbeat' (drums and flutes) for my taste.”

The graphics are praised for their cute, fully colored artwork, which effectively blends the cats into the background, creating a unique challenge. While the visuals are well-executed and appealing, some players feel the game lacks variety and could benefit from additional levels. The accompanying music is enjoyed by some, though it may be distracting for others.
“A cute, fully colored artwork where the challenge primarily comes from the cats blending into the background colors.”
“My kids love the music and the art style and kept playing until they found almost all the cats on their own.”
“This game needs more levels; the artwork is really nice.”
“It presents nothing new: 1 single drawing with 100 cats spread throughout the graphics; there are 2 'types': those that are pretty much in plain sight, and those that are 'hidden' because they are somehow paler/faded in their background.”
“The graphics are quite simplistic and lack detail, making it hard to stay engaged with the visual aspect of the game.”
“The art style feels repetitive and uninspired, which detracts from the overall experience.”
