Gameplay is characterized by a mix of intuitive and cozy mechanics, but it suffers from repetitiveness and a lack of new challenges across its 15 maps. Critics note that the presence of negative space and an unnecessary boss mechanic detracts from the overall experience, leading to a monotonous feel that could have been improved with more varied elements.
- “15 maps in total, so there's lots of gameplay.”
- “As for the gameplay, it is intuitive, cozy, and pleasant.”
- “The gameplay (if someone had put some work into it) would be good for a highlight among hidden cat games.”
- “Tons of negative space making it feel incomplete, and the boss mechanic is an unnecessary nuisance.”
- “The two main criticisms of the game, I think, are (a) the repetitive gameplay 'sameness' of each scene, and (b) the lack of any new mechanics, aims/requirements, or even increase in difficulty in successive scenes.”
- “After just a few, the gameplay starts to feel monotonous and boring.”
