✦ AI summary

Stabby Cats is a free-to-play cooperative cat action game with a cute art style that players find amusing in short bursts, particularly when played with friends, but it suffers from significant usability issues including poor visibility, deafening audio with no volume controls, outdated and confusing control schemes that require guide lookups, and buggy Remote Play functionality. While some enjoy it as a brief time-waster and appreciate the chaotic multiplayer fun, the technical problems and lack of accessibility options make it a frustrating experience for many, especially those playing solo.

MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW >:( Cons: Remote Play is Super buggy when setting up controls Audio control options have Zero adjustment on music Pros: You can say MEOW MEOW MEOW alot Was fun to play for a little bit but loaded with bugs It's Free2Play so I shouldn't have super high expectations for a free silly cat game.

I sooooooo wanted to love this game....I mean its called STABBY CATS! However, this game has the most antiquated control system and its incredibly difficult to see what your characters are even doing on the screen (for me anyway). All I could see was my cat's head jumping behind the cafe. Also, the game is ungodly loud. I mean even the DEAD could hear this thing go! That's literally how loud it is and there was no settings option for the game so how you configure anything, I haven't the slightest. What I do know: to play as player 1, you use the Arrow buttons and the right side enter/shift buttons. To play as player 2, you use the WASD keys and the left side enter/shift buttons. The third player uses something else that is likely in one of the guides. Good luck playing and I pray you're already Deaf when you do!

Despite remote play being buggy and the controllers being a bit hard to use with a controller. I think this is a cute idle game to play for a few minutes to pass time.

Игра 'Stabby Cats' – это безумный, хаотичный и очень забавный кооперативный экшен, где вы и ваши друзья управляете милыми, но смертоносными котиками. Цель проста: выжить как можно дольше, уничтожая волны надвигающихся врагов, используя разнообразное оружие, которое валяется буквально повсюду. Графика нарочито простая, но очень приятная, а дизайн врагов и котов просто очаровательный, несмотря на весь творящийся вокруг беспредел. Музыка энергичная и отлично задает темп. Сама игра требует хорошей координации и умения действовать сообща, ведь в одиночку долго не протянуть. Однако, стоит учесть, что игра может быстро наскучить, если играть в одиночку. Весь кайф раскрывается именно в кооперативе с друзьями, когда начинается форменная вакханалия с криками и смехом. Также присутствует небольшая однотипность игрового процесса, но это компенсируется постоянным добавлением нового оружия и врагов, что поддерживает интерес. В целом, 'Stabby Cats' – отличный вариант для вечера в компании друзей, желающих развлечься простой, но увлекательной игрой.

I wish I could recommend it, but having to look up guides just to know how to select your character really does not bode well for it. The art style is cute tho

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
