Find the hidden cats in New York City. Two difficulties for the first mosaic. Harder difficulty allows finding extras that unlock new images to search. Decent.

The Hidden Cats series began in early 2022 and so far 6 episodes have been released. The locations where we have to find a lot of cats are (mostly) based on existing cities. Now, we are looking at the one taking place in New York . It wouldn't be this city without famous monuments. For instance, the Liberty Statue can be found with some cats hanging on it. Not far from it is the Empire State Building with the cat...

8/10 A lot of content for the price. There is the main puzzle with two difficulties, and five hidden kitten maps you unlock after beating the harder difficulty on the main puzzle. Provided a good challenge, had to take breaks as some of the tiny cats are extremely difficult to find. I would recommend this cute cat finding game, it's worth the price.
