The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ads, which many players find overwhelming and detrimental to the overall experience. Users report that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing, with mandatory ads for basic actions and a high price of around $30 to remove them, leading to perceptions of the game as a blatant cash grab. While some players are willing to tolerate ads for bonuses, the frequency and length of ads have caused frustration and led to uninstalls.
“My only issue is the amount of monetization that gets pushed in your face, but the VIP pass makes that aspect tolerable (and it's well worth it for the game you're getting). Overall, it's a great tycoon game with a lot of love put into it!”
“I paid $30 for no ads, I occasionally bought gem packs; I figured if it's enjoyable throughout my workday, I don't mind spending some money.”
“It's a cute little game, but 60% of your playtime is watching ads, and at least 40% of the screen is links to microtransactions.”
“It's sad because this game would be worth keeping if it wasn't such a blatant cash grab.”
“The amount of boost time per ad watched has been quartered... and the ads have always been painfully long (>30 seconds).”
“The game is constantly trying to force you to watch ads on absolutely everything as well.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing and crashing reported by users. Many players experience glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly during ad viewing and manager assignments, leading to lost progress and frustration. Despite its appealing art style and concept, the persistent bugs and lag make it largely unplayable for many users.
“Love it! The cats are really cute, there are no ads, it's amazing—no glitches or lag. Great app!”
“Ads are part of the game if you want to progress, and sometimes you're forced to watch an ad to collect your progression rewards. The problem is that the ad freezes, never recovers, you have to restart the game, and lose all the cards you just collected and needed in order to actually progress.”
“I really like the game and have been playing for a while now, but since the last update it's been extremely buggy and it's definitely ruining the experience.”
“The game freezes every 2 minutes and won't unfreeze until restarted, repeats continuously.”

The game's story and mission structure have received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over glitches and an overwhelming reliance on ads to progress. While some appreciate the cute aesthetic and engaging storyline, others find themselves stuck due to broken quests and a lack of clear objectives, leading to a slow and often unplayable experience. Overall, the narrative potential is overshadowed by technical issues and ad-heavy mechanics that hinder enjoyment.
“The game has been getting better 〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜 I believe the maker of the game is listening to the feedback too, which is lovely, but there is a new glitch.... it seems like the quest/mission is broken, all 3 missions on top of the screen says 'jafjjakskaletwidka' (keyboard smash) and when you try to open the mission, it closes itself so you can't claim the reward.”
“Still, the game appeals to players aged 30 and above as they can enjoy a long story and fun loop game, though younger ones might enjoy it too.”
“It's so adorable! I love it! I've been trying to find a good tycoon for a long time & I found it in this one. I'm very new to the game still, but what I have seen has a nice cute story & I love the game style & how the game works.”
“The main story slows down quite a lot as well.”
“The missions are unfinishable because they're completely glitched out and the buttons on the top of the screen don't work. It says I've finished the level, but I can't go any higher.”
“I really like the concept of the game, but unfortunately the quests for leveling up are glitched; I can't see quests to level up for whatever reason.”

Players consistently find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and frustrating, often requiring significant time investment or monetary spending to progress. Many reviews highlight the overwhelming presence of ads and the steep difficulty curve after initial levels, leading to a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction. Overall, while the game starts off enjoyable, it quickly devolves into a grind-heavy experience that feels more like a cash grab than a fun gameplay experience.
“After all this grinding, it's clearly not worth it.”
“It's a fun game at first but I got tired really soon because progressing meant either forking out money or spending a lot of time tediously grinding.”
“I've easily spent over $60 in this game and yet the whole thing has still come to a grinding halt at level 20 because I refuse to invest more.”

“It's adorable if you like cats and tycoons. The tutorial is short, and the cats are cute.

That's all I have to say for now; hope you consider the game and enjoy playing!”

The game offers limited replayability, as only the first 4-5 levels are accessible for free, potentially leading to a lack of incentive for players to revisit once they complete this initial content.
“The first 4-5 levels are playable for free, but after that, the game feels repetitive and lacks new content to keep me engaged.”
