« Hey, developer of Minami Lane here, and I just wanted to say that I love this game! It's both very Minami Lane coded yet so full of unique charm and personality. And the art is so beautiful! What a lovely game. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 3 h played122« Pet da kitties. Catch da fish. Sell da ice creams. Put a little plant here. Put a little plant there. Watch the sun set, and the clouds roll by. Get gently lost in a Ghibli-like scene with tranquil music, low pressure, and lots of purrs. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 1 h played11« CATS O^O And yes, great game, CATS, sooooooooo cute, CATS, sooooooo satisfying, CATS, soooooo many sweets details, CATS, purfect ~~ <3 »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 7 h played« Super cute game. It takes a few hours to beat, but it was fun winding down on a Friday to this. Some levels have a slow start but by mid-game I got the hang of it. Demo was also very nice. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 3 h played
« I've only played 13 minutes but immediately I'm a bit disappointed as it feels like a direct copy of the game Minami Lane! »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 0 h played« The art and music is relaxing, the gameplay is addicting. Absolutely loved playing the demo for this game and the full build with the different levels is amazing so far. I can't wait to finish it. Highly recommend! »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 3 h played1« Really cool visuals and overall theme of the game. The more you play, the more addictive it gets. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 4 h played« 解压、好玩、有满足感，希望能增加更多关卡更多成就。玩法是开商店卖东西给猫咪客户，每一天结束后根据猫咪反馈调整存货量。后期问题：1.每一天结业后，需要逐个点开每个商店查看卖出多少然后调整商品的数量；2.需要鼠标频繁不间断点击猫咪积累好感度，好感度满后自动发射爱心气球；3.钓鱼非常简单，但是猫咪多了点不过来。但是毕竟是离线单机平面小游戏，没有什么自动化mod不能解决的，所以我最后玩的很开心 »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 12 h played
