I do enjoy these cute "hidden object" games, especially when my mind is occupied with some heavy processing and I'm not ready to invest myself into serious gameplay. But this particular one is a disappointment.
- Clicking is often not registered properly. It's more annoying than you might think… when clicking essentially IS the gameplay.
- It's small and forgettable. It does entice you to buy level 2 to find another batch of 100 cats (paid DLC), even redirecting you to your shopping cart with the said DLC already added (without your consent). I wouldn't mind paying for DLC if I'd enjoyed the core content, but the said content consists of 1 low-res picture that I spent 10 minutes staring at.
- 2 out of 7 achievements are locked behind paid DLC. I find the practice of locking achievements behind paywall kinda foul, no matter the price.
If there's some competition in the "100 hidden…" subgenre, it's to be expected that someone would try to recreate the success in the lazy, low effort manner.
