The gameplay of "Stabby Cats" is criticized for being a shallow imitation of Super Smash Bros, lacking depth and engagement, with a simplistic 2D retro pixel aesthetic. Player interest appears minimal, with only 1-2 users logging in weekly, likely to briefly explore the game before uninstalling.
- “Stabby Cats is a lazy 2D retro pixel arena brawler that rips off Super Smash Bros, but with far less depth and gameplay. The 2D retro pixel cat theme feels unnecessary, as that's not what the gaming industry really needed.”
- “Current gameplay numbers are around 1-2 players logging on per week, presumably to check out what the free game is, only to realize how poor it is and then uninstall it.”
