Chowdown Kitty

I mean.. it's very cute, charming for sure, cosy maybe? If you're here for the match-3 though, just play Bejewelled. I've had to abort and restart the game three times within my last 30 minutes of gameplay though because of 'code errors'. It's put me off opening the game again.

I love me some match-3 style games. This one promised me a buttload of content for its price, like 1000 stages of content. There's also loads of cute cats on the islands and IN SPACE. The music is pretty boppin' and I loved decorating the room and my kitties. Sadly, however, that's where the good ends. I cannot currently recommend this game in it's current state. It mainly comes down to the fact it is pretty buggy. You'll want to get use to it erroring and forcing you to quit after what feels like every 3-5 stages. There's another major bug that irks me. Let's say you don't get the rank you want on a stage, so you click to return back to your home, because there isn't a repeat stage button. Well, once you click on the stage again, the ice blocks aren't in the same formation as they originally were set, instead, placed in such a way as to make the stage impossible to beat. The only way to set the ice back into the intended locations for the stage is to beat the stage PRIOR to that one. It's so dumb and it creates a very frustrating experience when combined with the crashing issue I spoke of above. There's a few other minor bugs as well. None of this has been addressed and the …

Very cute cat-themed 'match 3' game, would recommend on sale. This game is best suited for young children who are just learning to play video games but still playable by adults. Extremely easy gameplay, some rounds were finished by me in just a couple of moves. It's a bit unsatisfying as an experienced match 3 player since you just play until you hit the goal. If you hit it fast with good combos, you get a Purrfect score. Each cat is very cute, you collect one of 100 cats each round by feeding it until it is huge. This is presented as the cat going from a kitten to a (morbidly obese) adult. And you are also rescuing these lonely cats on a series of islands. Yeah I wouldn't think too much about the logic here. Most people could probably finish the game in less than 5 hours so take your time to enjoy it. There is also a freeplay mode but I haven't tried it yet. Only a mouse and even a very small monitor is needed for this game.

Adorable little game; even if (obviously) not a AAA quality. The only issues I ran into so far after finishing the first island, is the fact that you don't have a proper redo button after finishing a level. You always have to go back out of the screen, click back on the island, scroll through until you got the right cat/level and then try again. Seeing how I was trying to get a "P/urrfect" on all cats, it was a bit tedious to do over and over again when a simple redo button in the endscreen of a level could have solved that issue easily. Other than that, the time limits can be a bit unforgiving for that "P/urrfect" rank, but other than that it's an enjoyable and fun little game for inbetween that I'd happily recommend.

Chill game with generous timers and lots of cute little things to decorate around the sides.
