The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the intricate and detailed artwork that enhances the challenge of finding hidden cats, while others criticize the overall visual quality as amateurish and lacking professional polish. Despite the divide, many players appreciate the artistic style and the engaging experience it provides, highlighting the game's potential for enjoyable gameplay.
“Graphics are wonderfully detailed, which makes the game much more challenging than other hidden cats games.”
“Finding all the cats is quite a challenge, and it's actually quite amusing because the artwork is so intricate that in some places, it’s hard to even tell that there’s a cat hidden there.”
“What a great way to pass an hour or so searching for tiny cats in a wonderful piece of artwork with little interactive surprises along the way!”
“The artwork here is terrible; it's all just amateurish 'my first Wacom tablet' style drawings instead of professional-looking game assets.”
“It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can create graphical assets properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high-quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

“Didn't know where it was coming from at first and disrupted the music.”
“It's the same or similar to the music used in their other games.”
“This time the distractions include musical lights, flowers that bloom, birds that fly and sing, a Chinese opera, an angry cobra, and flying Chinese lanterns, as well as cuddling pandas.”
