The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its fitting blend of rock and humorous tones that complement the cute visuals. While some find the music somewhat generic, it effectively enhances the gameplay experience, offering options for both energetic and relaxed tracks. However, there are reports of technical issues related to volume settings that detract from the overall enjoyment.
“The music and sound design of this game is pretty good.”
“Music is great: it's humorous to be playing as a cutesy cat while causing mayhem to a backdrop of rock music. There is an option for more relaxed music too, which I recommend during the 'interaction' mode, unless you're truly emo haha. I really liked the animation of your cats dropping out of cat carriers when you switch to a new cat.”
“The graphics are perfect for a game of this nature, setting the cartoonish tone, and the music is great (and can be selected between 'cute' and 'metal' depending on what kind of feel you want for your battles).”
“It is not so good that I would go out of my way to pick up the music, but it works well.”
“It kept crashing right off the bat when I would go into settings to turn the extremely loud music down.”
“I decided to try playing with the music raping my eardrums and I still crashed.”

The gameplay is characterized by vibrant visuals and extensive character customization options, but many users feel it lacks depth and polish, describing it as unfinished and buggy. There are calls for additional modes, maps, and activities to enhance the overall experience.
“And if they wanted to expand it, they could add more things to do in the playroom, allow you to move around it a bit, add an extra mode or two like tag or another PvE mode, add some extra maps with unique mechanics, and offer more cosmetics, of course.”
“Game feels unfinished, buggy, and shallow, hoping to coast on the premise alone of having cute custom-made cats while gameplay is lacking.”

The game lacks a narrative or single-player mode, primarily offering a series of bot battles that focus on repetitive mechanics rather than storytelling.
“There is no story, moving on.”
“There's no story or single player mode aside from fighting bots in each of the modes, all of which involve waggling the right stick, holding block, and then holding a button to charge up a pounce.”
