Miaou Moon Reviews

Boring game, waste of money

oh dear, what a horrible unrewarding game concept

very addictive and simple to understand

[h1] A cute pick up and play physics game! [/h1] I have already played over 20hours and I have only unlocked the first few planets that you travel to. It is a lot of fun resetting skills to find the best balance for each level and planet. Getting your kitty to eat fish to get bigger and bouncing about reminds me a lot of a game called Sushi Cat. I had a couple of problems that the devs fixed very quickly and since the addition of the [b] 1.05 Antigravity Belt, [/b] I imagine control is very much improved over any earlier versions. I feel like this little gem needs a light to shine under so it gets my [u] Yes Vote [/u] :)

Difficult, but entertaining, Long lasting, and just a silly premise executed perfectly. Realizing NO ONE has heard of this game makes me a little sad. What's not to love? Cats, outer space, and adventure! I mean come on, arcade style Indie titles are a rare breed nowadays, at least give it a shot! As long as you like challenge and cute things, this game won't disappoint!

Fun idea, lousy execution. The moment I realized this game did not support controllers I knew things were going to be problematic. This game seems tailor made for a controller and having to navigate very unintuitive keyboard controls is a wasted opportunity. Aside from the clunky controls, the game just feels half-baked. I think a bit more play-testing would have yielded a fun little game, but currently it feels more like an old flash demo. To their great credit, there is a demo you can try and see if your experience is more enjoyable than mine.

[h1][b][u]Overall - 57/100[/u][/b][/h1] Frustrating movement mechanics and lack of polish doom this one to the litter box. [h1]Playing as a cat - 20/20[/h1] The game does get this right. You're the adorable Captain Miaou, hauling your fish through space when an asteroid strikes. [h1]Acting like a cat - 20/20[/h1] You're a out-of-control cat in a space suit, and the only things you can really do are scratch things, fart, and eat. Which, honestly, is probably how a cat would behave in this situation. [h1]Adorableness Level - 10/20[/h1] The cat is cute enough. Not too much else going on. [h1]Polish - 5/20[/h1] It looks OK (but pretty simple) and I didn't see any bugs, but the physics and controls leave a lot to be desired. Physics are frustrating, and the controls are completely non-intuitive. Also, controller support would be nice! [h1]FUN! - 2/20[/h1] I wanted to like Miaou Moon. The cat's cute, I love the idea of cats in space, and the gameplay mechanic is unique and interesting. Unfortunately, unique and interesting do not equate to "fun" in this case. The propulsion-style movement might be OK on its own, but when combined with the resource limitations around that movement, it's just too frustrating to be enjoyable. When you run out of food and die halfway through an asteroid, you realize why physics-puzzle-based, resource-limited movement is not usually combined with sprawling, exploration-heavy game worlds.

Miaou Moon is a really cute game. It's not easy because every unnecessary move can be your last and you have to try it again. It can be a bit frustrating, but once you figured out how to use you air carefu,l it will be not as had as you might thought at the beginning. You need patience and probably a lot of tries to finish a level, but it's definitly worth it. I haven't made it far yet, but i will continue playing and see where Captain Miaou will guide me to.
