Fun little "match 3" game, and I don't say that about many match 3 games. ### 2/5 — Score disappears *2015-01-04, version 1.9* I was really excited to get this game as I love anything to do with cats...what a disappointment. First of all the game had no instructions so I kept on tapping the screen. When I finally started the game and got to level 8 I had to minimise the game. Each time you do it your score goes back to zero and you have to start from level 0! Bit silly unless you're attached to your phone 24/7! ### 4/5 — Weird funny game *2015-01-04, version 1.9* Control takes a bit of getting used to as there was no instruction showing how to play. Simply drag any ‘top row' cat or a cat not blocked on its side to wherever you want. You can also extend the chaining number by dragging more cats in before they disappear which is cool! It’s definitely a clever and challenging game with good graphics and sounds. Definitely recommend trying it out! ### 4/5 — 消除游戏。 *2015-01-04* 和小鸟爆破一个性质的消除游戏，但是模式没有🐦丰富。 ### 4/5 — Bad cats *2013-03-08, version 1.6* Great game. Very addictive. Starts off easy and gets harder. Not passed level 18 yet. Good value for money. ### 4/5 — Meow!!! *2012-12-18, version 1.6* So much fun! ### 2/5 — Bad cats *2012-12-03* Just purchased it after trying the free version but it will not stay on the screen. Did I just waste my money? ### 5/5 — nothing short of brilliant *2012-11-30, version 1.6* cannot understand why this is not getting rave reviews, it deserves them ### 5/5 — Bad Cats *2012-11-18, version 1.6* I love it. A cute limitless game for sure! 😺 ### 5/5 — Addictive *2012-11-17, version 1.6* Very addictive game. Both me and my kids love this game ### 5/5 — FUN! FUN!! FUN!!! FUN!!!! *2012-11-16* This game is very addictive! I play it every chance I get, and even times I shouldn't be. This is the best game I have purchased yet. Thanks for such fun! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game doesn't work *2015-01-05, version 1.9* I just downloaded this game, and like everyone else commented, the game doesn't work. I ended up deleting it straight away. Luckily it was free! ### 1/5 — Bad *2015-01-04, version 1.9* Game does not work. I can't move the cats! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-01-04, version 1.9* Doesn't let me do anything once I open the game ### 1/5 — doesn't work with IOS 8 *2015-01-04, version 1.9* You cannot move the cats. please fix ### 1/5 — Disappointing! *2015-01-04, version 1.9* I was really looking forward to trying this. But despite reloading several times, the cats stubbornly refuse to move! Help?!? ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-01-03, version 1.9* Just downloaded the app and it lets you open the game, but the actual gameplay doesn't work. It won't let you move the cats. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work. Period. *2014-12-08, version 1.9* Tried this on an iPad 3 with iOS 5.1. It's supposed to work on iOS 5 and up. The game loads, but won't let me move any cats. Cute, but instantly deleted. :-( ### 1/5 — Back To Square One *2013-01-28, version 1.6* I loved the free game so I bought it for more fun. Is addictive but does get boring when having reached a high level, the game goes back to the first level each time after "Game Over." ### 1/5 — Bad Cats *2012-11-25, version 1.6* Just purchased today. Will not stay on the screen. Don't know what to do. Don't want to be billed for a game that doesn't even work once. Very unhappy. ### 1/5 — Gah *2012-11-10, version 1.6* How do u freeking play!!!!!!!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very addictive *2023-01-05* Just rediscovered this gem. I have to force myself to stop playing it because otherwise I’ll waste my entire life ### 5/5 — So fun *2018-10-11* My new favorite game!! Some bugs unfortunately as cats get frozen in open spaces and can’t be removed. ### 5/5 — Superb! *2015-01-26, version 1.9* Very fun. Drag and drop, unlike the usual "jewel" games where I sometimes feel like the game is playing itself. The figures you move are stylized cats. One of them is a SpongeBob cat. I hate it so much! Good lasers zappers and explosions. ### 5/5 — Great app ! *2015-01-05, version 1.9* It took a few minutes after downloaded it to be able to play. But once you begin, you can't stop. 😄 ### 5/5 — 顶起 *2014-11-04* 走你 ### 5/5 — Bad Cats *2014-09-15, version 1.9* I do not know about Bad Cats, should be brilliant cats, best game of this type ever. ### 5/5 — 好评 *2013-07-28* 很好 ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-06-21, version 1.7* Fun app, hard to put down. Keeps you engaged ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2013-05-01, version 1.7* My kid loves this app! ### 5/5 — Best gama ever!! *2013-01-31, version 1.6* Best game ever!
