The music in the game is generally described as pleasant and fitting, with a festive vibe that complements the charming visuals. However, many users noted that the soundtrack can feel repetitive, lacking variety throughout gameplay, which detracts from the overall experience. While the holiday-themed tunes and soft sound effects are appreciated, some players wished for a more diverse musical selection to enhance engagement.
- “The relaxing background music — think gentle sleigh bells and mellow piano — complements the experience without overwhelming it.”
- “The music is upbeat and jolly with a festive vibe, and when all cats are found, fanfare and fireworks mark the occasion in a fun celebratory way.”
- “The artwork is adorable, the music sounds great, and the game itself is very enjoyable to play.”
- “However, the soundtrack remains an issue I had already noticed: the music tends to feel repetitive, and since it accompanies you throughout the entire gameplay, a bit more variety would have helped make the atmosphere feel fresher and more engaging.”
- “The background music is essentially the same as in the other entries, with only a slight festive twist to reflect the holiday theme.”
- “Cons: the settings menu could use word descriptions, only one song in the soundtrack (not including the music when completing the game), each cat unlocks an achievement.”

- “The lovingly hand-drawn visuals are beautiful, particularly the vibrant colors of the color mode.”
- “The artwork is adorable, the music sounds great, and the game itself is very enjoyable to play.”
- “This game features very lackluster minimalist 'art' for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary.”

- “It's very short and easy, graphics are kinda meh (some doodles instead of cats), but for a free game it's fine.”

replayability

The game offers high replayability despite its short duration, as players can revisit it in a challenging 'colour mode' that enhances difficulty and visual appeal. Additionally, the task of memorizing the locations of 100 cats adds to its replay value, making it a worthwhile experience for players.
- “While the game isn’t long (you can finish it in under two hours), it’s priced affordably and makes up for its brevity with charm and replayability.”
- “Once completed, the player may replay the game in 'colour mode', a mode wherein, as the name suggests, the entire level is coloured in with vibrant colours that improves replayability and makes the game significantly more difficult.”
- “As the game is free, the value is very high, but the replay value is also high simply because memorizing the location of 100 cats will take a while.”
