The music in the game is generally praised for being catchy and fitting the retro aesthetic, enhancing the gameplay despite its repetitive nature. However, some find the electronic soundtrack becomes monotonous over time and would appreciate more variety. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a positive aspect that adds to the game's charm and value.
- “But the music is great and it will make 1 to 2 hours go by really fast, for only 99 cents that makes it totally worth it.”
- “It actually looks nice in that pleasing, 1970's Atari/Intellivision type way, with a catchy little soundtrack that despite looping repeatedly, doesn't really overstay its welcome.”
- “It has over 100 levels, it's cute and the music is great.”
- “The electronic music score hastily becomes gratingly monotonous during play, and even the jump sound effect for the feline favors an establishing annoyance rather than a feat.”
- “The music is decent but a little variety would have been nice.”
- “Aside from cute graphics and the pleasant, repetitive soundtrack, tricky cat offers easy puzzle platforming with 100 levels.”

The gameplay offers about an hour of engaging content, featuring standard controls typical for the genre with directional buttons for movement and jumping. Each level introduces new mechanics, encouraging players to explore different ways to complete challenges.
- “I got about an hour of gameplay out of this, which included repeating some levels to see if they can be done differently (they can).”
- “Gameplay: the control scheme is what can be expected from a title of this genre; the directional buttons maneuver the cat while the space bar as well as the up directional button permits jumping.”
- “As with the previous games, each new level might add a new mechanic.”

The game offers limited replayability, as mastering the tricks for most levels reduces the challenge and can make subsequent playthroughs feel repetitive and boring.
- “Doesn't have much replay value since once you memorize the tricks for most of the levels, it feels boring.”
