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).

Great game. No ads. Awesome!

Most horrible app ever. I just wanted to play a cute cat puzzle game where the cats are preparing my sushi lunch. Why are you trying to make me pay? Why are you forcing a subscription on me? Why is there so many ads? You guys are so money hungry you have enough of funds to your name so why are you trying to get more? ITS A CAT GAME. WHERE THE CATS ARE PACKING MY SUSHI LUNCH. IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS. After I swiped out the application to let it refresh, it logged me out of my newly made crunchy roll account and wouldn’t let me log back in. It kept saying error this error that. Just let me play the game. I hope you all end up bankrupt when all your supporters turn on you because of how terrible your company is. Never make a game again.
