User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: many reviews celebrate the cute cat theme and relaxing, addictive puzzles, and the ad-free experience for subscribers. However, a significant portion criticize the monetization model, noting the game isn’t free, requires Crunchyroll Premium, and pricing can feel steep or confusing—especially for those who previously bought a one-time copy. Some users also report onboarding hurdles and login glitches. In short, players love the charm and gameplay but dislike the paywall, price, and access friction.

Pros

Cute cats and aesthetically pleasing visuals that feel adorable and relaxing.
Fun, casual puzzle gameplay that is easy to pick up and can be quite addictive.
No ads when you have a Crunchyroll subscription, contributing to a smoother experience.
Relaxing, satisfying puzzles with long-term playability and the feeling of losing track of time.

Cons

Not free to play; a paid subscription is required just to start playing.
Subscription pricing is expensive (around $9.99–$12 per month) and seen as poor value by some players.
Switch from a one-time purchase to a subscription creates confusion and feels like bait-and-switch.
Account/login friction and occasional access issues (need to create an account; login errors).
