The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and smoothness, making it easy to learn, but it is notably short, with completion taking only about 10 minutes. While some players appreciate the unique mechanics and vibrant visuals, many veterans of hidden object games find the brevity unsatisfactory compared to more substantial offerings in the genre. Overall, the game is seen as a quick, enjoyable experience rather than a deep or lengthy one.
“Either way, I enjoyed that mechanic (whether it existed or not... I have never experienced that sensation while playing other cat-search games).”
“Adds a few mechanics not seen in similar games to boot (that might have been a pun).”
“Gameplay: simple and smooth gameplay using a wireless mouse.”
“The gameplay took only 10 minutes to complete, and nowadays if the game takes less than half an hour, I wouldn't recommend it to any veterans of hidden cat/object games.”
“It's free, yes, but the gameplay is too short... this is like an evening project... just a 10-minute game and completed. There are tons of 'find something in the picture' games that are far more interesting and longer.”
“This game is a fully-colored hidden objects gameplay!”
