✦ AI summary

Players love this cute, relaxing puzzle game with charming cat-themed content, praising its unique gameplay and calling it highly recommendable. The main complaint involves a display scaling issue where the screen cuts off at the edges, making some UI elements difficult to see, though the core game itself is considered cool and enjoyable once you get past that technical problem.

I've started this game and quite enjoyed it, but when I play the full screen is too far in. What I mean by that is the corners are cut off. I tried to exit out and in, and restart my game. but it didn't work. I assume this isn't a feature in the game as in the photos of the game's home page you can clearly tell where your paint brush and your star is at. But if we push that out of the way, this game is really cool and unique!
