Leave a Review Simon's Cat
What developer wants you to stop playing?
I saw this on an in-game ad and thought it looked fun and the animations made me laugh. I played for quite a while enjoying the levels until I hit a gate that needs 3 keys. You can play for keys but must wait 4 hours in between plays?! The first one was beaten easily enough, but the second one (after waiting to play it) can’t be beat by me so far. You can buy a key for 70 coins ( which I haven’t earned yet), or connect to Facebook (which I don’t want to do) and ask friends for keys. Starting out the interface was nice and clean but is now cluttered with free gifts, timers, event countdowns and the like. I liked being able to watch an ad to earn extras on some levels, when it works. Half the time the loading wheel spins to select view ad and the button never appears and it just goes into the level. I understand the developers want to make money from the game and to some extent I will spend a little here and there and watch ads when I can, but I haven’t even been at it a full day and I’m hit with pay to continue or wait 8hrs (if you pass the key challenges).Show lessB33z

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. 'Time gates' are a familiar feature in this type of games, and we can assure you that it's possible to get through the gate without spending any money or using Facebook. Thank you for playing:) Team Pop TimePLEASE RESPOND
Hey! If you are reading this, don’t worry, it’s an awesome game. It was really fun and the good kind of challenging. HOWEVER, after a lot of levels, you get to a gate. The first gate level isn’t too hard, but the second IS SO HARD!!! I tried many times, but NO LUCK. I’m disappointed, honestly. It took TOO MANY TIMES. I am fed up with that level, so much, I’m probably going to delete it. It’s still not a bad game it’s just that one level that gets to me. Call me a quitter, but you don’t get much of a chance. BUT HEY. It’s a good game up until that point, and it’s not right at the beginning either, so you still get plenty of levels before it. It’s a good game, so I would still download it. Thanks for reading!😁Show lessdragonkitty superhero
One of the very best games
Excellent graphics, whimsical, entertaining, varied, well-done.
The programming also reflects dedicated attention to sequences, colors, and scene continuity. The mantra “I can’t stop playing this game” is certainly applicable, when each level entices you to play the next one. There are few flaws, unless you consider the absence of meaningful rewards, but i’ll mention the frustration of not having the right colors to shoot at the bubbles on the screen — if you are given only blue, and the very last move is to shoot at yellow, it forces you to either replay the game or buy (real cash) more bubbles. The game calls upon your observation, judgement and tactile prowess, making it an absorbing and challenging pastime for all ages.

Great game! Helped me in a tough time!
Last year, I stumbled across the this game. I was going thru one of the most terrible times of my life. I know this review is different but I want the developers & creators of this game to know that it was so cute and whimsical, simple life things that make a person giggle or smile. This game, oddly enough a game, helped put a smile on my face and an occasional giggle, when I couldn’t smile or laugh. It helped me to remember that there are always sweet little things in life that matter even when the big stuff is crashing down around you. Thank you for creating this game. I love animals and I love gardening so it really hit the spot. By using your talent to create these silly little strong headed creatures, you helped a person, you don’t even know. Keep creating. Thank you.Show lessR!chChr!$d
Cute and very fun but ads are annoying.
If the game didn’t have ads all the time and also this mechanic where you have to wait 3 hours to “unlock” a gate. The price point for the in game power ups and currency is also too high for me to justify throwing down some cash for it. I miss the days where you could just plunk down cash up front and then not deal with ads/in game purchases. But alas; its mobile gaming in 2019.
That being said, it’s not more unfair than other freemium games... it’s just that freemium models are inherently crappy. Otherwise, simon’s cat is an adorable character and the bubble popping is fun and relaxing (I like to play it while watching movies at the end of the day). The animations are cute and I really like them. If it weren’t for the freemium scheme and the annoying gate thing I’d give it 5/5 stars. But I can’t justify giving any game that uses this scheme more than 3 stars.Show lessBobthebox
Stop with the Facebook already!!!
Honestly, I have been an app user since the iPhone was invented. That goes without saying. HOWEVER, I have never EVER written a review for the hundreds of app’s (especially games) that have passed through my series of iphones.
That said, I have enjoyed your “Simon’s Cat” pop game. Well, I’ve MORE than just played it—-I am on level 400 something—I rate the different games as I move to the next level. HOWEVER it is VERY heartbreaking that you are, all of a sudden, ONLY able to give or receive lives via Facebook. So my mother can no longer send me lives etc etc.
Now I’m not just a player, I actually BUY things there....weather it be opening up the piggie bank or a seasonal special....
In any case....please go back to the way things work! My mother doesn’t “do” Facebook but she enjoys this game as much as I do. So please please please allow me to, once again, give lives to my dear mother???? I will write a review of praise as a follow up if someone from your company actually hears my plea. Thank you.Show lessDeeter4577

Hi, Thank you for your review. We're sad you don't like the way the game is structured. We will be continually improving and updating the game with new content and we have passed your comments onto the development team. Thank you for playing:) Team Pop TimeIt’s fun, but...
It really is fun, despite being another bubble pop game, it manages to be 10x more entertaining than the average bubble popper. However, it’s incredibly hard to get the currency in this game. I mean, 1 coin for an ad? That’s insane. Honestly, it wouldn’t matter if there wasn’t literal road blocks that require ‘keys’ which you either have to buy, or you have to wait 4 hour intervals to play a incredibly hard level three separate times to ‘earn’ them that’s without a doubt to frustrating you into buying coins with real money. The game is very fun, but you’ll really only get to level 40 without having to pay real money. Do with that information what you will. I personally cannot recommend this game with that knowledge.Show lessNightstargal
$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!
Incredibly fun and addicting, but OUTRAGEOUSLY costly to keep playing hot streaks, tournaments, etc. Also, the “watch ad” option fails as often as not & one has to shell out a coin for the bonuses.* No explanation of the flying, shot & multiplier-stealing but possibly coin-giving bird is ever given, to my knowledge, nor of the multiplier system (which is much more obvious, of course). I have spent hundreds of dollars on this game and I have never done that before, so that is a testament to its entertainment & addictive qualities, but why can you offer a membership price, or the line? And there really should be many more ways to EARN coins in app. The piggy bank is also far too small and $4 to open it early is absolutely INSANE.
I am pretty good at the game & have one or placed in multiple tournaments, but I still end up bleeding money. Sadly, I will have to stop playing entirely as the creators of S. & this game have fortunes and I, sadly, do not. I also have a plethora of other games to choose from that are free or far less pricey. Bye-bye Kitty.
(*I am probably owed around a thousand coins because of that.)Show lessJes'fine

And of course, please feel free to contact us directly via the green in-game ‘help’ button (in the settings menu) when you have problems or need explanations. Thank you for playing:) Team Pop TimeWould be 5 stars but....
The whole idea of having to wait hours or pay to clear the gate level is ridiculous if not obscene. I understand you want cash. I understand that you want to make money. And I’ve helped you out in this regard a few times. But what I really can’t figure out is why you really, in the end, don’t want us playing your game. The last time I cleared a gate level, the time to play again was 20 minutes. I came back and it went to over an hour, waited again and now it’s over two hours. That is unless I want to bug my FB friends or pay you more money. Yes, many games have gates and FB asks, but you have gone way to the extreme. It’s a cute, fun game and was entertaining while it lasted, but it’s just not worth the cash and delay you require. Yep. You won’t get any more of my money. Or time. But you will get my delete.
PS. My FB friends are mine. NOT yours.Show lessBonMack
Definitely Fun But—
This game is fun and well designed. It would be great for kids, teens and even adults when stuck in the car or waiting for an appt. except for one thing. While you do have to buy coins all games require some purchase. However on this one you have to buy playing time. It will freeze for anywhere from 4 minutes to several hours. “The cats are too tired to play” so you use coins to get a few more games. Then it freezes again. Buying extra bubbles is expected but the frequent freezes were very frustrating. Never had a game stop as often as this one. Sorry but we had to delete it from devices due to this one issue.Show lessMajorlive1
