### 4/5 — Please don’t force me to sign in game centre

*2026-08-21, version 1.2.6*

Frequent player for several years. But please don’t prompt me every time to sign in to Game Centre ? I play on my own and not interested in multiplayers.

*2026-02-26*

안녕하세요 저는 올해에 초5학년 이돼는 4학년입니다.저희 사촌언니 핸드폰에 이 게임이 있어서 궁금해서 저도한번 깔아봤는데 제 생각보다 너무귀여워서 놀랐어요.그런데 아쉬운점이 고양이들끼리 서로 잘 안붙어져요.그런데 그것만 빼면 전부다 좋아요!!!!!

### 5/5 — 넘넘 귀엽고 재밌는데 ....

*2026-02-22*

넘넘 귀엽고 재밌는데 ... 처음엔 잘 됐는데 렉이 플레이 하면 할 수록 점점 더 자주 플레이한지 얼마 안돼서 먹통돼요 ㅠㅠㅠ 물고기도 모으고 싶고 기록도 세우고 싶은데 16점 밖에 못내고 폰 자체가 잠깐 먹통돼서 글 씁니당 ㅠㅠ 맘껏 게임하고 싶어용 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 오류 수정 부탁 드립니당

### 4/5 — 제발 렉 고쳐주세요ㅠㅠ

*2026-02-06*

진짜 매일매일 하능 게임인데 언제부턴가 최근에 너무 렉이 자주걸려요 고양이들이 막 진동하고 터치 먹지도 않아서 강제종료해야해요... 플레이할수조차 없는 정도로 에러가 나요ㅠ 조치부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — 재밌는데 아쉬워요

*2026-02-04*

고양이가 자꾸 모양인지 몰라도 오른쪽으로 조금씩 굴러가서 감안하고 더 왼쪽에서 떨어뜨려야 하는데 그러려니까 어려워요ㅠㅠ
부디 제 리뷰를 보신다면 고양이들 무게중심을 가운데로 놔주세요..
