It's just the wrong sort of janky for me to enjoy it. The charity connection is nice, but the jittery controls, iffy hitboxes, and inconsistent framerate makes it unfun to play. Also, if you do play, and you can't get the platinum trophies in the speedrun mode, force the framerate down, the timer is tied to the FPS for some reason.
A cute, lighthearted stealth puzzle platformer with a nice message behind it. It is great that it raises awareness for animal charities, and the cat theme is charming. The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up, which makes it relaxing to play. That said, it does start to feel repetitive after a while, with similar puzzles and mechanics repeating. Overall, it is a pleasant free game with a good cause, but it may not...
