The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the artwork as amateurish and lacking professional quality, which detracts from the overall experience. Conversely, others appreciate the cute and endearing art style, finding it charming and suitable for the game's relaxing nature.

“The art style and music in this game is really beautiful and fun.”
“It has simple but endearing graphics.”
“Relaxing, super cute art style, fun interactive items, and of course, cats!”
“The artwork here is terrible; it's all just amateurish 'my first Wacom tablet' style drawings used instead of professional-looking game assets.”
“It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to arrange 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.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and smoothness, providing an engaging experience with charming visuals and a cheerful soundtrack.

“Bottom line - it's up to 10 minutes of actual gameplay, with zero replayability.”
“After a thorough inspection and a second gameplay, I realized some small differences between the games I'm in love with and this game.”
“It's just gameplay.”
