I would gladly keep paying the ad free price but the fact you can only buy these dumb tickets now makes me not want to continue playing these games. ### 4/5 — Cat mall game *2026-05-29, version 1.0.28* Fun but a lot of micro transactions ### 5/5 — Cute! *2026-02-28, version 1.0.27* So adorable! ### 5/5 — Best New Game Ever! *2026-02-15, version 1.0.27* I like this New Game! i can’t stop playing it. 😍🤩 ### 5/5 — Fun and cute :) one issue though *2026-02-09, version 1.0.27* The game is super fun like the title suggests, and it's a nice "idle" type game. Worth 5 stars for the aesthetic and art. My only problem that would usually lower the score is that when I have this game open or in a different tab, my phone (iPhone 13) heats up really fast and drains my battery like nobody's business. I played for maybe 10 minutes and in that time my phone went down more than 10%. I have fun while playing this, it brings me joy, I just wish it didn't turn my phone into a space heater or drain my battery. ### 3/5 — It’s alright. *2026-01-31, version 1.0.27* The game has a harassment of Microtransactions. too many features added, I’m a bit lost on the game. ### 5/5 — I LOVEEE ITTTT *2026-01-26* i played it and i don’t play it when i use wifi i usually off my wifi and play and it shows no ads it’s amazing <333 ### 5/5 — So cute *2026-01-25, version 1.0.27* The character are so cute ### 5/5 — Я теперь полюбила эту игру *2026-01-19* Тут всё нормально это замечательно всем советую и я увидела что там на русском языке очень хорошо ### 2/5 — j *2026-01-10* 1% jogo e 99% tutorial, que chatice **Developer response:** Olá! Agradecemos por compartilhar sua opinião. Lamentamos que a experiência com o tutorial tenha sido frustrante. Vamos analisar isso para melhorar o equilíbrio entre o jogo e as instruções. Agradecemos seu feedback! ### 4/5 — D-1 crash out scene *2025-12-13, version 1.0.27* Game is really fun just hoped it came out sooner because back in July I wanted to get it but it said that I would have to wait till October 16 so then I wait and when that day came it said it would not me coming until November so I started to crash out 😡😤😠🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. ### 2/5 — Cash Grab *2025-12-07, version 1.0.26* This is the second game I have tried by these devs, and they’re all the same when it comes to their greediness. I completely understand the option to watch ads for rewards. However, when you constantly have 20 of them shoved down your throat on your screen at all times, and with every click, it becomes way too much. There is a feature in this game where the customers can “complain” about wanting better upgrades. These upgrades are generally about the items that cost gems. This creates an environment where the player will feel it is a necessity to make micro transactions in order to play the game properly. These devs don’t seem to care much about their players’ experiences, only their players’ bank accounts. ### 5/5 — Very good game *2025-12-07, version 1.0.26* The game is rlly cool n cute ### 4/5 — В принципе игра прикольная *2025-12-06* Нормально ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The cash grabs are so in your face *2026-05-25, version 1.0.28* The actual game is fun and satisfying! But the shoving ads trying to get you to buy gems or money is all over your screen when you play. I can’t even focus on the game because it’s EVERYWHERE. Unfortunately made this game unplayable for me shortly after the tut:( ### 1/5 — . *2026-05-16* Невозможно что то прокачать без доната, либо сидеть ждать когда накопишь либо донатить, плюс вынуждение смотреть рекламу и просто реклама. Вместо игры получаешь просмотр реклам и бесконечное ожидание, смысла играть в это нет. Котики милые ### 1/5 — Cash cow garbage *2026-03-23, version 1.0.27* I mean it’s pretty obvious this company mass produces the same low effort games in order to capitalize the most they can off each one before people notice. One of the only reasons I still played it was because I spent money on it, and the currency in this game bs. You spend more than you can save, I shouldn’t be paying $20 worth of diamonds and only be able to pay for 4 things. It’s highly repetitive and boring after awhile, just like every other idle game they make you think it’s easy in the beginning and make it almost impossible to do anything after the first 3 days. Constantly having to watch ads to do anything. Overall just a bad game made for profit. Do better this is sad this what the gaming industry turned into is just a bunch of of games made by toddlers who want money. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2026-03-06, version 1.0.27* I’ve played about maybe two or three of their cat tycoon’s series. It’s expected for mobile games to be cash grabs, however a noticeable trends with games is that pay for ad free is not an option or temporary features. So i was disappointed with this game to be following that trend. Battlepasses and pay for events? Whatever but ads are disruptive, taking you away from the content. I also the inclusion of ai is disgusting. ### 1/5 — No More Ads *2026-02-03, version 1.0.27* Won’t allow you to purchase no more ads as a one time payment like in the other games. ### 1/5 — read this for the truth *2025-12-11, version 1.0.27* ive been following treeplla games for a long time. their games are cute, fun and satisfying. they have lots of methods to pay for items, but it has always been able to be grinded (the type of gameplay i like) and Usually they have a skip ads package which is reasonably priced and helps speed your growth nicely. feels like a game. THIS GAME does not do that. in every crevice they could fit, they put a payment behind it. events, items, growth in general AND no ads package like they USUALLY do. very frustrating trying to get through any of this app ### 1/5 — Still can’t go no ads *2025-11-25, version 1.0.26* You can do permeant no ads in almost every other cat game they have. Sigh. Ruins the experience. ### 1/5 — Unending tutorial *2025-11-08, version 1.0.25* I've been playing the game for like 20 minutes and have yet to be able to play freely because the tutorial is still forcing me to take baby steps. It would be cool to play the game without constantly being told waht to do and what to press but currently it's impossible for me to play without getting irritated. ### 1/5 — Horrible because the ADS Ruin it *2025-10-24, version 1.0.23* Edit: okay so they added buy skip ad tickets. A step in the right direction but not enough. Why not permanent ad block They did this game dirty like Cat Town. Office, Lumber, Snack Bar, Magic School ALL have ability to buy perminate NO ads. The developer says they have no intention to add this feature so I won’t play it. It’s frustrating because 30 secs of watching a stupid ad to anything like refresh for more shops is horrible. I’m disappointed because it could be fun if they just took away the ads by allowing us to buy them . It’s a shame because I have spent thousands in my other games that offer this one simple feature. Guess the developers won’t be making money off of me because I reward games that offer a one time ad free pay. You lost money on me. ### 1/5 — No permanent AD remove *2025-10-18, version 1.0.21* I have beat the game when it first comes out. I max all level and max the money cap. Waiting so long for the first updates and was disappointed when it comes out. Instead of have an option to permanently remove AD, it have AD remove ticket, this is bad making you indefinitely keep spending money to remove ad. Secondly the games still pulling to much resources and it causing your phone or iPad get really hot for playing a long time, is is a very bad design as it. Ăn kill your battery life and device quickly. Thirdly, for all those who beat the first region will have to start all over again with no new brand, store or items, only thing you can carry over is the card you have obtained. This is very bad updates. Would not recommend for anyone until these are resolved specifically the power resources grabbing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10 stars *2026-08-21, version 1.0.30* Love it highly recommended for for all ages ❤️ ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-07-18, version 1.0.29* In particular, it’s a favorite of mine when it said it was coming soon I couldn’t wait and then I asked my mom to buy it and then she bought it and then I straight up fell in love this game is amazing but the only problem is there has to be a target, but it has to be cat themed for real fur real meow, cat lover ### 5/5 — Cat moll *2026-06-29* Это лучшая игра в магазине я так обожаю кошек что могу завести у себя в доме хоть 2 000 000 кошек но вместо этого я скачала cat moll.И моя жизнь стала лучше с этой игрой спасибо тем кто её создал ### 5/5 — Мяу мяу киса киса *2026-06-09* Игра Крутая!!!
