A Planet Full of Cats

I appreciate the more cohesive storyline of this game than previous, even if I may not need it to enjoy the games. I echo the sentiment of a few other reviewers. I know many players may not like the increased dialogue but I felt it livened the game a little and added some humor. I buy every "full of cats" Devcats game and I must say this may be my least favorite installment, however. Echoing a few of my fellow reviewers' sentiments, I loathed the fungus side-tasks. It moved away from being pattern-recognition skill-based to just scanning every square inch manually. The x-ray vision only gave a small circle of visibility to scan an entire page of environment and it was laborious and not fun. I hate using hints but I had to every time just to get through the slog of it. The worst one was in the spaceship which was a huge environment. When I clicked on the x-ray vision button the game slowed to 2 fps, zoomed in and locked the zoom so you couldn't zoom out and do large sweeps. The circle moving at 2 fps was so painful I just used hints for that whole fungus level. Unfortunately the hints were bugged and, likely due to fps, would show the sparkly hint outline first, disappear, then pan to the location of the fungus. Before it reached the location it would jerk and pan back to your original location. All of this jankiness took like 7 seconds and then you had to manually scroll over to the location it panned to and remember where the outline had been on your screen originally. Remember this was all in 2 fps so it took like 20 minutes. I recommend a patch to fix that and never include that mechanic in one of these games again. Beyond that, the game was okay. The little mini-game of matching the magic golden mirror/orb/thing letters was not fun but not the worst thing ever. I appreciate the hand-drawn environments as always. I do, however, miss when the cats were actually hard to find, not just scattered across the map for you to click obvious ones until you reach 150 of them. It makes it less satisfying and more like a chore, as another reviewer said. I haven't finished the game yet so I'll update my review once I do.

Easily my favorite Devcats game so far. I didn't think I would enjoy a point & click metroidvania as much as I did, but I want more. I hope they keep moving their games in this direction and make them more interactive as point & click stories instead of standard hidden object games. One huge gripe I have is that most of the rooms go edge to edge on the screen, and that means a couple of cats are hidden by the UI at the top while others are so close to the edges that it's easy to miss. I wish there was either a small buffer or border on the edges, because checking around the top UI especially was tedious and not fun.

Best point-and-click I've ever played. The cats are cute, the story is adorable and not too exciting for younger players. I really enjoyed how the game and story flow, gradual skill additions and smoothness in introducing new areas, and there wasn't backtracking. If you like cats, sci-fi, point-and-click and a few puzzles without any time locked events, this is your game. <3 PS. Devcats, you have the purrfect meownagement and supurrvisor team! Pets to all the cats!

Best Full of Cats yet!

Meilleur jeu de toute la série des "full of cats". Toutes les bonnes idées de la saga réunies en un seul jeu. Des références en veux tu en voila, super moment !

So far this has been the longest one in this game series so I can't help but feel frustrated when the game has so many bugs and glitches; the game may crash all of a sudden, I can't click anything in a room that I arrived for the first time, one mission is bugged the whole game even if I have completed it (and resolved wheen you return to the main menu, lol). Despite this I'm happy that I'm helping cats by buying this game.
