optimization5 negative mentions

Adorable and cozy presentation featuring cute cat companions that add charm and relaxation to the classic Sudoku experience.
Multiple difficulty levels and numerous quality puzzles provide a suitable challenge for beginners and casual players.
User-friendly interface with helpful features such as note-taking, auto-checking, undo button, customizable themes, and in-game music player.

Severe performance issues including lag, stuttering, and memory leaks, especially on higher difficulty levels, often making the game unplayable after some time.
The highest difficulty puzzles may lack sufficient complexity for experienced Sudoku players and sometimes have multiple solutions causing error detection problems.
Limited and somewhat shallow cat interactions; achievement system is either unclear or not engaging, and some interface elements such as menu behavior and undo function have usability issues.
