    • “No ads for free, excellent experience and would recommend to anyone and everyone.”

    • “I paid to remove ads, but that doesn't stop the game from showing me an in-game ad for another package I should buy every time I play.”

    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • optimization
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I just don't think it's been optimized for Samsung Galaxy S8+.”
    • “What I liked: simple but fun gameplay; some puzzles are challenging but most are just the right difficulty; very cute art style | What can be improved: cat sounds can be tweaked to sound clearer; not optimized for longer screens like Samsung A20s.”
    • “Only a money-sucking app, blocked at impossible level 70 after a hundred tries, no bonus used because I rate a game without using anything that is limited. If the game isn't possible without bonuses, this means it's a fake free app, or at least you need to open this trash optimized thing every day to farm rewards, and having lags because some cats are flowing is unacceptable.”
  • character development

  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Some levels are intentionally tedious because they are designed to require a lot of repetitive steps.”
    • “Another decent game I'd rather pay upfront for rather than feeling like I'm being pushed to either nickel and dime my way through a tedious level or put it down altogether.”
    • “It's alright, but I'm personally not all that into how hard it becomes later on. It shifts from being relaxing to grinding through each individual level again and again, hoping for better results, but you'll likely be forced to use the recommended items.”
