yeah
pretty cute, pretty sweet, and pretty short!
This game was played in its entirety on a MacBook Air M1 8gb ram 7c gpu running MacOS Sonoma. There were no bugs or crashes throughout my time with the game. All achievements unlocked at their appropriate times. This will be a short review. This puzzler is charming and has some solidly entertaining puzzle action, with some difficulty issues. The graphics and animations are very cute. There is nothing wrong with them, but nothing amazing about them either. The same with the audio. The story...exists. It's fine. I will forget it in a day or two. You're really here for the puzzling action, and most of the time it is excellent! New pieces are introduced regularly throughout with some nice intro puzzles for each new element.

THIS SEEMS LIKE SUCH A WASTE OF FOOD! Very cute puzzle game that had me playing for hours. It's cozy and it has adorable cats. Looked very easy at the start but at the end of chapter 3 I was already slightly challenged. And at the end of chapter 5 I really had to focus. In chapter 8 I was actually struggling and a bunch of puzzles I just had to skip and revisited on a later day. There are 14 chapters in total and many introduce new mechanics to keep it fresh.
