Twin-stick combat game about cats. Animation is really cute and looks great, especially given the small dev team that worked on it. Gameplay's well balanced and designed, levels are well designed and bosses are fun to fight. May be a bit short for some but not too short given the price point and overall quality I feel. The definitely-a-cat shop owner has dialog referencing Resident Evil 4 which made me clap like a seal when I saw thing I recognized. Yeah it's good. Buy it.

So, I just played through the whole game again alone, after having played it in co-op before. I have to say, it’s definitely harder on single player because the AI buddy isn’t quite as smart. :D You can tell a lot of work and love went into this game. Achievements would be cool, though.

I have really enjoyed playing this game so far. The art is great and the characters are adorable. I absolutely love that each kitty has a special technique or skill. They definitely change the feel of gameplay and approach depending on who you have on at the moment. It is a challenging game but not so much that I got overly frustrated with it. Any sticking points were my own skills and not issues with the game. I did not encounter any bugs with the portion that I played and I do look forward to playing more again soon. Thank you devs for a lovely game.

This game is absolutely adorable! Its charming art style and wholesome atmosphere make it a delight to experience from start to finish. Playing it is genuinely fun — the mechanics feel smooth and engaging, and there’s always something new to discover. It’s clear that the developers poured a lot of thought and care into every detail, from the visuals to the gameplay design. If you’re looking for a cute, well-crafted game that’s both relaxing and enjoyable, this one is a must-try.

Hello, fellow Cats! This is a fun little game where you scratch and shoot your way - sometimes chill, sometimes chaotic - through the bullet hell of propeller-headed bunnies and other weird enemies. The levels are well-designed, the controls feel great, and the story is genuinely funny with equally hilarious dialogue. It’s definitely a hidden gem that's totally worth checking out. A few small things the devs might want to look into: A marker that shows where your co-op partner is (especially useful when they go down), skippable convos, and maybe a slightly bigger revive range - like when your buddy's down in a trap, so you don’t die trying to save them. Overall, though, super fun and totally recommendable!

Really cozy and positive game – perfect to relax with after work. Highlights for me: super cute cats 🐱, creative enemies with funny dialogues, and the beautiful hand-drawn art that makes everything feel warm and charming. The local multiplayer is fantastic too – had an absolute blast playing together with my wife on one device. If you’re looking for something lighthearted, fun, and full of charm, this one’s a gem!
