« Ok little casual TM game but the mechanics are burdensome and it seems unbalanced and repetitive without good enough flow to be intrigued to continue playing. It feels more like a chore than a game. »👎 anonymous review · May 2026 · 3 h played« The game does not actually have remote play together. The creator doesn't seem to care that they have it listed, but it doesn't work. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 1 h played« Genuinely feels like I have a 9 to 5 job when I play this game, it's not even enjoyable. I'm constantly being robbed, barely make any money to buy upgrades let alone actually restock my inventory, I would cry if I was this cat irl... »👎 anonymous review · Feb 2026 · 8 h played« make it a dollar. immediately. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 1 h played« Very tedious gameplay. More annoying than fun. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 0 h played« It's such a cute game, it's very addictive to serve all sort of drinks and croissants to the cats ! The achievements are easy to get, it's not very difficult to upgrade your shop and get more reciepe. Loved this game :) »👍 anonymous review · Feb 2026 · 11 h played
