Not a bargain when the game crashes halfway through while trying to close one of the many ads that randomly pop onto the screen. Had to reset and start again. Very annoying but did end up enjoying the game. Good length. Puzzles could have been more challenging. Sometimes the puzzles weren’t really puzzles just moving or touching somethings. ### 3/5 — Puss n Boots *2018-12-18, version 1.0.0* A great game rated it a 3. Once again, a game I purchased before, said I did not purchase it. Nothing like paying double to play games that are suppose to be pay once! App Store needs to get their act together. Very disappointed. ### 5/5 — Best *2018-12-18, version 1.0.0* One of my 3 favorite games. I really like the hidden puzzle pieces and the morphing objects. Great story and easy to navigate, ### 5/5 — Brilliant game *2018-12-15, version 1.0.0* No problem at all on my iPad. I am enjoying so much that I’m going to play it again, something I haven’t done in a long while. Left me feeling all Christmassy 😍 ### 5/5 — Merry Christmas *2018-12-09, version 1.0.0* Love this game. Great story line fun to play. ### 5/5 — Long game but GOOD *2018-11-21, version 1.0.0* If you are a cat person and you love Mysteries your going to love this game!!!😍🐈 ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT... *2017-12-16, version 1.0.0* Probably one of my favourite Big Fish games. The graphics are beautiful, storyline, and best of all the characters. The cats are so cute!! I could not put this game down, I will be playing the other Christmas games in this series and hope they're just as beautiful as this game. ### 5/5 — Pussboot *2017-12-06, version 1.0.0* Like this game with kitten ,need more Christmas game like this . ### 4/5 — Patn *2017-12-04, version 1.0.0* Good little game, really long gameplay both in main story and in bonus. No glitches, pretty graphics, some puzzles a little different, but it was somewhat repetitive and simplistic, so only 4 stars. Worth the deal price for a few hours of fun.. ### 4/5 — Refreshing *2017-11-14, version 1.0.0* Nice to take a break from all the gore and mayhem found in most of the other games. I’d like to see one that challenges one’s knowledge and educates at the same time. ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-01-01, version 1.0.0* This game is really fun. I love the entire xmas series from Gamefish. Christmas and cats, what's not to like. ### 5/5 — Beautiful & Fun *2016-12-13, version 1.0.0* Very enjoyable! Funny , scenes are very colorful and mini games are fun. Wasn't too difficult and can always get a hint. Plus strategy guide is available. Good job big fish. Thanks again for another enjoyable Christmas season. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trying to Charge Again *2023-12-01, version 1.0.0* I purchased this game and it was in the cloud, however, after I downloaded it again and went to “Already Purchased” but it says no purchase showing for this account. It shows the cloud logo which shows I purchased this. This is just trying to charge another $6.99 for the game. ### 1/5 — Christmas Stories Puss in Boots *2022-12-31, version 1.0.0* Paid for full game and have played and loved it. Reinstalled to play again and it says purchase not found. Very disappointing to pay for game and can only play once. ### 1/5 — Locked out *2021-11-04, version 1.0.0* Unable to open game once I paid for the full version. ### 1/5 — Game no longer works, crashes *2018-12-28, version 1.0.0* Updated review December 2018: Playing this game has become a Christmas tradition. It's still as fun and entertaining as the first time in 2015. However on game load it now crashes, and I suspect the crash is being caused by the Big Fish popup banner advertising other games or deals – because the crash and black screen happens on load at the time that popup appears. I've been able to get halfway through, then a third of the way, now I've given up. Nothing in my iPad, iOS or setup has changed in three years, and the game is still the same version, so the problem is very likely caused by Big Fish. I've read BF is no longer putting out these kind of games anyway, so one star just for that from a longtime customer. – – – – – – – – – – – – Updated review December 2016: Just finished playing again and everything in my December 2015 review below is still true. Fun, festive and funny. And Big Fish has good customer support at last, no more waiting 4 weeks for a reply, it takes a day or two (at the moment) – – – – – – – – – – – – December 2015 review: Delightful, snowy and festive game, with a magical storyline and a talking cat (no lazy and dumb ghouls and demons here!) Great music, seriously laugh-out-loud funny at times, somebody with a great sense of humor wrote this. Puzzles are pretty easy, but overall this is probably the best, funniest Big Fish game I've ever played. Laggy and glitchy in some of the puzzles, but that might be my 2-year old iPad. I just wish Big Fish didn't have such terrible customer service, which would make me an even happier customer. I read somewhere they've recently been bought out, so maybe (hopefully) things will improve. Big Fish if you're reading this, pull your Christmas stockings up, hire more staff and train them much better, because you have a potentially awesome company offering mostly great products. ### 1/5 — Full version crashes *2018-12-18, version 1.0.0* As soon as I upgraded, it crashed and won’t open on my iPad. ### 1/5 — Con!!! *2017-12-02, version 1.0.0* Played the free game - loved it so purchased full game - will not open on iPad!! What a waste!!! ### 1/5 — So Glitchy!!! *2015-12-26, version 1.0.0* I have had to delete and download the game twice now erasing all my progress. 😕 The game doesn't allow me to progress by skipping dialogue where a character is offering me an item I need. I hope this is fixed as the game is a lot of fun with different characters. Refreshing from most HO games that limit character interaction to cut scenes only. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Puss in boots *2015-12-25, version 1.0.0* Sorry to say game isn,t worth paying for. Big fish we are having a lot of trouble trying to work game out ### 2/5 — Game stuck *2019-12-20, version 1.0.0* Game gets stuck in bonus chapter when cat learns to fly. Tried rebooting and got same glitch. ### 2/5 — Beautiful *2018-10-24, version 1.0.0* Beautiful game that sadly needs updating as it doesn’t work with iOS 11 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good job on the game *2023-09-30, version 1.0.0* But you know they should start making more puss in boots games because THIS GAME IS AWESOME I love this game I’m A BIG Fan of puss ### 5/5 — Great story for kids and adults *2020-12-29, version 1.0.0* There’s a few scary parts but mostly this is a cute cat story with a cute twist on the classic tale of puss in boots. As long as the kid doesn’t get freaked out by small things, it should be fine. Lots of evil things end up not being so bad. Normally, with witchcraft stuff, I close the game, but this seemed pretty harmless. Good story, colorful, charming, fairly easy games, and the standard hunk for unlock items with some HoGs. Loved it. . ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-12-23, version 1.0.0* Love this game! I thought at first it was going to be childish but it is far from it. Lovely graphics, nice twists in the plot and really good puzzles to solve. ### 5/5 — Enjoying the heck out of this game *2020-11-28, version 1.0.0* I avoided playing it for a long time because, you know, Puss In Boots. But the holidays are here so I plunged in. So far this is one of the most amusing of the HO games I’ve played, and I’ve played a lot during this pandemic lockdown. The HOPs are quite unique as are the mini games. And no supernatural demons to best. Hope I find another like it. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2020-05-09, version 1.0.0* Just love the cute. Kittens and the interactive cat. One of the best games I’ve played. ### 5/5 — Enjoying the magical theme *2020-01-02, version 1.0.0* This is so imaginative and fun. The graphics are wonderful, and this is by far one of the most intricate and lengthy games I have played. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Such a beautiful game *2019-12-23, version 1.0.0* Amazing graphics, cute storyline and good selection of puzzles and hops. Bonus game was long too. ### 5/5 — A real winner *2019-07-29, version 1.0.0* This is by far one of the best games out there. The artistry is superb. The music beautiful. The hidden objects were nice and big. I was able to finish most of the puzzles. The story is very sweet, unlike the terror theme of most games. I smiled while playing the entire game. Thank you Elephant Games!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Game lover *2018-12-31, version 1.0.0* Fun to play. Game wasn’t too short. No problem with playing. ### 5/5 — Puss in boots *2018-12-18, version 1.0.0* Love this game, bit sad I had to pay for it twice tho --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
