The music in the game is generally described as cute, relaxing, and fitting well with the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience. While some players appreciate the charming and soothing tracks, others note that the music can be generic and repetitive, often resembling royalty-free tunes. Despite mixed opinions on its originality, many find the soundtrack enjoyable enough to complement the game's cute art and casual atmosphere.
“Not only is the art amazing, the music is absolutely perfect and there's enough puzzles to make you feel like it was worth the purchase, but it's also probably the best version of hidden cat games I've found.”
“The music is charming.”
“The music is very soothing, cute, and relaxing (I'm positive a baby would easily fall asleep to that melody).”
“The music is generic royalty-free tracks, so not the best.”
“Think of generic music that some creators on YouTube may use... personally, I would recommend playing the game on mute/with other music playing, especially if you're trying to 100% the game and/or relax.”
“The music ranges from okay to 'straight out of a generic YouTube video', but other than that you get what you pay for: 1-2 hours worth of finding cute cats.”

The game offers moderate replayability primarily due to the randomized locations of cats in each level, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging for players. While some users note that the replay value may be limited after achieving certain milestones, the ability to improve times and discover new cat placements adds to its charm. Overall, it is considered a fun and relaxing game with enough variety to encourage multiple playthroughs.
“I love that in comparison to other similar hidden object games, the location of cats is random and changing every time you start the same level; this adds to replayability.”
“Even better, the cats in each puzzle are randomly generated, and so the game has far more replay value than others of its kind.”
“The fact that you have 9 different worlds and the locations of the cats are changing makes this game very replayable.”
“Replay value is a bit light, but it's not an expensive game, so it's worth the price.”
“I am not sure it is worth $2 for how short the gameplay is and the lack of real replayability, other than just enjoying the art and colors and maybe trying to beat your best time for each of the levels.”
“This was a nice hidden object game; the cats aren't incredibly hard to find, and it times you, adding to the replayability since you need to fully clear about 3 times and do a stage and a half past to 100% the game.”
