Matching Cats Reviews

A cute and quick game for those who are looking to unwind. If you enjoy matching or puzzle games, then this is a definitely pick up. Loved the cute cat tie-ins to internet cats and it was a solid hour of play time as I made my way through the levels. Happy to finally add this one to my completed games.

The sliding AND matching is obnoxious and makes every level way longer than it needs to be. I would LOVE if this were just a matching game. Please make a new game like this without the sliding!

There's a cat in the game that is grumpily sitting next to a glass of wine, contemplating drinking the whole thing in one go. That cat is now me after playing this game. It's clear that the devs wanted to make a unique puzzler game that featured cute and iconic cats. They succeeded in illustrating some iconic and cute cats. However, the game itself is a nightmare. "Matching Cats" asks you to match cats, yes, that's true, but what it doesn't tell you is that this is an amalgamation of blind puzzle tile sliding and memory, with required single-card flips for EACH SPACE. The result is something that feels like you have to brute-force two potentially enjoyable genres of game at the same time, spending an absolute unnecessary amount of clicks to move one card to where you want it to go. I've had to break up my playtime of this game not out of enjoyment but because it's absolutely infuriating to have to input so much for basic movement, tile by tile, instead of being able to click any tile not adjacent to the current selection, or being able to slide a tile through, say, multiple empty spaces instead. I committed to 100%ing this game and I don't feel like it's worth it. The pluses are really the cats they included in their illustrations. I think the devs made some good choices in which cats to include, selecting images that feel iconic and differentiated enough - for the most part - that the matching part feels fun. I definitely found myself referring to different cats by different made-up names or pertinent descriptors after a while. "Mafia cat," "dancing cat," "Walter making you a deal," "Goofy Walter," "lil orange boi," "alien," "void (puff)," "sad birthday cat," "salad," and similar names feel very familiar and intuitive after a while. Again, I do think the selection and illustration choices are the one good thing in the game. My overall review: If you want to waste your time, if you want tendinitis in your clicking hand, and if you want to forego any amount of actual mental effort or stimulation in favor of simply mindlessly flipping cards even if you already know where their match is, go ahead and play this. Otherwise, I'm gonna recommend you steer clear and find another cute cat puzzler. I'm gonna go get a drink.

Matching Cats is a fun and relaxing memory game, perfect for cat lovers who want to play something that doesn't require a lot of thinking. There are 20 levels, each getting progressively harder as more cards are added to the board. Each level brings new cats, drawn in a variety of cute and funny situations. The background is also quite beautiful and the music is calming.

I loathe this game. It is truly awful. I thought this would be a traditional matching game. It matches.... but not in the way you would think. You have to match cards directly next to each other. You can't match across the board. So if there is a card in the bottom of a 12x12 grid and one at the top, you have to move it one space at a time all the way up the board with a slow turn over transition each time you click on the card to move it one space. It's just mind-numbingly boring. It's not a difficult game as there is really no puzzle element to it. Find the matching card and then move it across the board one space at a time to match them. I do not recommend this game unless you don't value your time and hate your life.

Unless I am missing something it is nigh impossible not to clear a puzzle as you can simply move cats to empty spaces. If this weren't possible, it'd be an interestingly challenging puzzle game. As it is, it's not even really a puzzle but hey it's cute, relaxing and cleared up the headache I was having all for the low discounted price of 55 eurocents. No asperine can beat that deal!

At first sight, I was interested in the game, but for the simple fact of being a memory game and for having very cute cats in it, but proceeding with this thought, I started thinking that the game was buggy or maybe I was playing wrong, but with a little more playing I was like "WOOOOW, so that was it", the puzzle that was put in this game really gave a new depth to what I thought would be a simple memory game, I bought the game with an expectation and received a big surprise. I liked the gameplay, the kitty sound effects, the music that is not cloying at all, and especially the fact that each time I was advancing in the game I was more anxious to know which new kitty I would find. Happy birthday to the game and to the birthday kitty!

Honestly don't want to negatively review the game, but I've played 10 mins and nearly completed it... but only out of stubbornness. The fact that the cards have to be next to each other to patch means you waste a lot of time moving cards slowly from square to square to line it up with it's matching card. (Flip, move, flip, move, flip move...) Sould be called "Moving cats" instead of "matching cats"

Not much to really say about this game except great price, adorable & funny cat artwork and nice music. The kind of game you delve into for some quick mindless fun. 🐱

matching game where you can only match with cards directly next to each other. If you match 2 cars that are the same they are removed from the board, different and they trade places. So if it isn't memory so much as tedious annoyance. Also finished in under an hour. Best part of the 'game' is the cat art and descriptions.
