“Exactly like its predecessor, albeit with a Japanese theme, Catch the Stars: Japan features ethereal, soothing music as you solve star-based puzzles.”
“With its cozy lo-fi music and slow-paced gameplay, this is a great choice to relax in the evening while doing some light puzzles.”
“The color palettes and animations are very soothing, and the music is very fitting for the peaceful atmosphere that can be found in this game.”
“Especially the puzzle difficulty is not hard at all once you know how the mechanism works and the way the puzzle maker makes the puzzle in a reverse way without much complexity made it a pretty linear puzzle with not many dead ends to encounter... the music variations have their limits and can become repetitive over time, the background artwork is a little too few as well... in short, this is not as good as the first game where the devs put more love into the making, this one here felt like a 'rinse and repeat' from the devs and the 'taste' drops the more they 'rinse' it... hopefully this will not become a routine practice in the coming series.”
“_Music could have been better if there were more variation.”
“Small information: the soundtrack is the same as in the first Catch the Stars game, but I bought it again, just to support this team in hoping for more of these nice games in the future.”
