What players say

My only complaint is that in order to get all of the achievements, you have to click 20k distractions. It's obviously doable, but so unfun

It's a really fun idle/creature collector game, and the progression is definitely much less tedious than in many other games of the same genre. However , the achievement that requires you to complete 20,000 distractions is absolutely ridiculous. Achievements where you just have to do something repetitive and mind-numbing over and over again should honestly be banned altogether, and whoever decided to add this one...
RaxoRecommendedafter 61hJul 2026Read on Steam
It's an idle game with semi-gacha mechanics where you can collect different breeds of chonky cats... its perfect. 100/10, would buy again for all my friends.
