- “Well, I have no idea what about the music here is 'inspired by traditional Egyptian music'.”
- “It sounds like they used the first vaguely tranquil electronic music they found on a free assets site; it just sounds like every TikTok cooking hacks video.”

- “The soundtrack and sound effects, too, are lackluster.”

The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their AI-generated artwork, which is described as rough, lifeless, and lacking cohesion, featuring multiple mismatched art styles.

Overall, the graphics are seen as a significant letdown compared to other titles in the genre.
- “The visuals are a huge letdown.”

- “The AI-generated artwork looks rough and lifeless, with backgrounds that lack the detail and charm you'd expect from an Egypt-themed game.”
- “Basically very little effort has gone into this game; others have said it is AI-generated, which is quite likely for the main features of the cut-and-paste 'art' work and compares very badly with the hand-drawn artwork of many other find-the-kitty games for the same price.”
- “The artwork is cut-and-paste pseudo-Egyptian and Islamic in style with a lot of rubbish in between, and you need to play it on max zoom to see the kittens, which are also cut-and-paste and just dumped anywhere.”
