Thanks for fixing this 🤩 ### 5/5 — NEEDS UPDATES *2025-03-18, version 1.3.0* Please come out with more levels, more furniture, and more mini games ♡ This game is my favorite right now, but it only took me a few weeks to get nearly everything in the game and pass most of the levels. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-02-10* So I’m an only child and turning nine, and i had this game once and it’s great! I play this game weekendly, and it’s so fun, even though that I got it today. Great for sick days,but just one thing… could you add every Friday happy place ( one hour one thousand darts, everything in the shop is free, and you get gifts.) That would be awesome! Thanks, Princess 2b9 Ps. I love y’all, plus I read past reviews and almost everyone got their wish granted, buuut mine are suggestions.✌🏾 also avatars and companions should be six hundred! Pss. I’m sick today so good game also great for binge gaming! ✌🏾✌️PEACE psss. I lost my mailbox and guest book so now I can’t play! ### 4/5 — Needs some QoL improvements *2025-01-04* The game is neat but some little things start adding up and getting a bit frustrating as you progress. Some suggestions: - CRITICAL: When choosing items from the gacha, there should be an indicator for things you already own! There's a lot of items and spending 600 coins to get something you already have can be a real let down, I'd rather not have to make a spreadsheet to reference in a game that's supposed to be relaxing. - Please let us temporarily move buildings to invalid places just so we can adjust the placement of things in crowded areas without having to remove a bunch of items and go through the trouble of spending a long time trying to find them again in the bag. - Add buttons to quickly jump to a certain category of building in your bag when decorating - After a while seeing the animations for the events you've already went through a ton of times can get really tiring, it would be nice to have an option to be able to speed up or skip them - Minor: The sound and beat of the drum game may not always match, being able to calibrate it in the settings would make the experience better. (The game also froze for me during one and I had to force close the app) ### 2/5 — This could happen…. Read please *2024-12-30, version 1.3.0* Think about your audience, you think kids will just go buy this game share there info and then get KILLED. There are bad people out in the world, people that will pretend to be a kid and say “oh hi I’m 9 years old what’s your, were do you live?” That could be really scary for those children out around the world. I had a lady walk up to me and asked me where do I live, and yes that was really scary for me. Think about the people who play this game like if a 5 year old played this game and in a letter it said, “ hey what is your name were do you live. And that 5 year old kid told them all about themselves, and you know 2 weeks later that person he/she was knocking at that child’s door. What if that bad person tried to Hurt the 5 year old kid…. Please for the safety of children around the world fix this. And be Aware of your Surroundings. ### 4/5 — It’s a fun game but there’s an error with the sound effects *2024-11-16, version 1.3.0* I have sound and music turned off but even so if I hit the snowflake bubble and it starts snowing the sounds effect plays and it’s very loud for some reason too ### 5/5 — Do you mind adding one thing? *2024-10-06, version 1.3.0* It’s such a great game but I have one problem, I don’t know how to use the watering can! It would be super helpful if you could add instructions for it, thanks! ps. Thank you for making such a wonderful game! ### 3/5 — Really fun but I had to stop playing *2024-09-28, version 1.3.0* I had to stop playing because there is so much stuff for your village but not enough room to put it all! I was having so much fun creating my village but then I realized you only have a limited space to build it. It was really disappointing to not be able to display everything the way I wanted to. I would love to see an unlimited space update. I would totally start playing again. There is just no point to keep collecting the village stuff when I cannot expand any further. ### 3/5 — Repetitive *2024-09-19, version 1.3.0* I like collecting and decorating, but it’s way too repetitive for my taste. ### 3/5 — No more visitors? *2024-09-18, version 1.3.0* After my first few days of play I don’t receive any visits. I send darts and visit others, but am missing out on extra darts. When I started playing I assumed multiplayer was a part of it, but now I feel like it’s all bots unless you have friends to add. Missing the point of liking villages if you iwill never be put in the multiplayer pot anyway ## Frequently asked questions about Kimono Cats ### What is Kimono Cats about?
