I liked it a lot, definitely worth the time, not too difficult and makes you feel smart when you find the solutions. Charming art and sound design. If there were a way to follow specific developers on the google play store I would follow these ones first, Look forward to their next project.

Short. Very easy. Does not let you go to specific scenes to complete achievements. You have to start from the beginning and do everything again. Worse yet, it doesn't update your found cat count. Second time around I found 8 but it still thought I had 5 only. Entertaining though. I think it's for small kids

I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more from this team. I only had 1 issue that was easily worked out by clicking "Reset Game" in the menu. For my playthroughs it acted as a checkpoint restart not a full game restart. The warning message does say, "All your progress will be lost..." so try at your own risk. It put me back to where I needed to be when I completed a puzzle before the storyline was ready. Don't forget to give it a 2nd playthrough, you definitely missed something!
