The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was February 2025. It has been discounted 45 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 73 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games that feel like it, Zodiacats ($1.99, scores 100) beats it on value, while it beats A Building Full of Cats ($1.49, scores 95).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $5.55. It costs $1.99.

None of the 326 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 97 percent of the 344 reviews written there were positive, against 99 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

A cute, relaxing Sudoku game with cats instead of numbers, for a very fair price.

Playing this game, which is very cute btw!, helped get me to playing sudoku in general. So, if you've never been able to grasp how to play it, this is a really good way of learning!
