The music in the game is generally described as cute, relaxing, and fitting well with the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience. However, some users noted that the tracks can be repetitive and generic, often resembling royalty-free music commonly found online. Despite these criticisms, many players found the soundtrack enjoyable and suitable for a calming gaming session, with the option to play their own music if desired.
“My favorite part is the randomization of each replay and the music - it changes with every level, calms and excites you, etc - *chef's kiss* puurrfect!”
“The artwork was adorable and the music was very cute and relaxing!”
“It's insanely cute and the cats are always distinct from the background, i can set the background color and its intensity - great for irlen syndrome or if you just don't see some colors - and 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 or 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 hidden cats in each level, which keeps the experience fresh for players. While some users note that the overall replay value may be limited, the ability to improve completion times and discover new cats adds an enjoyable layer for those looking to revisit the game. Overall, it is considered a fun and cute experience that is easy to pick up and play multiple times.
“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.”
“The fact that you have 9 different worlds and the locations of the cats are changing makes this game very replayable.”
“Each game is different and every scene is different each time you play, so it has lots of replayability.”
“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 to 100% the game.”

“Gameplay: simple and smooth gameplay using a wireless mouse.”
