Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It's... ok? It doesn't live up to the hype. It's very easy. levels are very short (featuring 1 or two gimmicks) and feel like an extended tutorial.”
“Lovely game, sadly basically unplayable due to constant and repeated slowdowns only stopped by changing resolution/window mode every 2-3 minutes. Hopefully devs fix this soon because there are cats that need rescuing.”
