The humor in the game is primarily aimed at children, featuring amusing interactions with cats and dogs that can provide light entertainment for short periods. While the graphics and sound are minimalistic and repetitive, the game still manages to deliver a fun experience, especially for young players who enjoy guessing pet breeds. Overall, it offers a blend of humor and educational value, making it a suitable choice for family-friendly gaming.
- “Although being very minimalistic in terms of graphic appearance and a limited soundtrack, I really think this game is quite good for what it costs and it's very funny, especially for kids and for those who like dogs and cats of all ages :)”
- “Well, it's somewhat of a let-down that the game has the same flow, with dogs and cats appearing in the same order, but it's really nothing bad at all. Especially given that this game costs so little, it's definitely useful for 10 funny minutes per day to learn something about cats and dogs and entertain kids.”
- “So, with 61 (to be precise xd) cat and dog breeds to guess, you or your kids xd will have some funny and also useful moments playing this small game.”
