- “The artwork is beautiful, the music sounds great, and the game itself is very fun to play.”

- “Cons: Polish language selection just changes tutorial to Spanish (I think), hitboxes for cats are not great, I was finding myself clicking a few times on a cat, objects that should be transparent often aren't, music is not great, cat choir is bad and the core of this game is all about music... :(”
- “I didn't quite care for the extra musical element to the game, but the bags/cats were difficult to find, so it's a good addition to the genre.”
- “Kinda lame, music saves it.”
