Loved Until It Deleted My Stats
I played this game every day for a long time. Does it get laggy? Sure, but it’s still fun and free! Does it sometimes play bots in head-to-head instead of real players? Yeah, but still fun to play! (ToughFudge, wherever you are, you were a worthy foe!) Does it even take away a win stat every time I close and reopen the app? Yep, but whatever. Still fun! Then last week it reset my entire account to day 0. No help from app support. No amount of reloading and all that helped. It’s all gone. Kind of a bummer and I’m not sure it’s worth the data draw to keep it around now, TBH. I love the Oatmeal and have a lot of his tabletop and card games. Really disappointed this daily escape is so buggy now.

The game cheats
When you play a stranger there are times it’s obvious that the game is playing against you and not a person. There will be points where there is no possible way for your opponent to continue forming words with the available letters yet continue doing so. A recent game there was two possible palindromes to make from the four letters available. After my opponent and I both unleashed them, they were able to send out more taco cats multiple times even though it was impossible.

Number one word game
I don’t really like word games because they’re all “oh, look at this leaf and make words, aren’t you relaxed?” No, i’m not relaxed, because i’m in the middle of a stressful puzzle i can’t solve! But this game just seems easier, and it gives you more letters if you need them. Plus, it has laughs and a good storyline and cutscenes that are actually entertaining, as to distract from the fact that you’re basically playing single-player scrabble.
As a cat person, i really like the whole cat aspect of it, the animations, drawings, and sound affects are all really good and you can tell there was a lot of work put into it.

This game rocks!!
Seriously love this game and not just cuz I love cats. I love the graphics. Love the weapon perks. And I especially love the grumblings that goes on when the game ends. I don't even mind when I lose and I am told LOSER!!! Too funny. And it's so easy to play a friend. And my kitties I send out are black cat ninjas. Loving this game. Try it out. The only thing I am not clear on is how to unlock the different houses. Probably costs money but if you love word games and a fast pace and you are sick of games loaded with ads and 48 or 72 hr waits for opponents to play back this game is purrrfect for you.

Very nice, but doesn’t last
This game is great. It’s different than other word games similar to it (for example wordscapes, which is good) and is funny because it’s something from The Oatmeal. The only problem is it lasts two seconds. You can beat it in less than half an hour, and everything else gets boring fast. Otherwise it’s fun while it lasts. Very good for if you’re expecting a short game. It’s similar to how The Oatmeal describes cats. They are furry cruise missiles, not intended for long voyages but brief bursts of light across the sky. They find their way across the universe and crash into your heart like a purring, misanthropic meteorite.

I am obsessed but…
I want to give this five stars because I play this game obsessively. I love word games and cats and The Oatmeal so all my favorite things. BUT, in single player arcade mode, it will randomly start my game over, even if I have paused it. Sometimes I’ll be close to beating my top score and will go eat dinner and come back to find my game is gone and a new one has begun. Please fix this! It is the only bad thing in an otherwise brilliant, addictive game.

I now have a love for exploding kittens. Off the game topic, I have 2 of your board games and they are AMAZING! I have the game of cat and mouth and exploding kittens. I love kittens and your games are so funny and fun. I couldn’t ask for any more in a brand!! Y’all are amazing. This game is so fun and i’ve only had it for less than an hour now. The art is on point for the humor of the game. Pure amazingness. 🗿❤️👌 I wish I had more to say but your games are to amazing to describe 💖👌

Great game, but…
Pros: A+ humor, story also helps learn mechanics of game, multiplayer is a nice feature (though I’ve only ever played with strangers), amusing art
Cons: could use a way to internally reference allowed words (some real English words didn’t work), hard to level up after level five, gameplay relies more on speed than word size, vortex refresh takes a little long….
But the real issue that actually could be fixed: progress loss. There were many times it forgot my progress and then remembered- then one time it completely forgot and, after poking around, only partially restored my profile (kept multiplayer data, partly lost story info)

Please fix the current bugs!
I find this game entertaining in the best of ways! It makes me laugh out loud, and it challenges me to focus on finding words as well as learning new challenges as I 'level up'... being NOT a gamer, this is all new to me. This is the Very First game I have ever downloaded and likely will be the only one unless The Oatmeal comes up with another thing like this. I'd give it 5 stars but currently cannot play it because it has a bug that won't let me make any words. PLEASE oh please make da bugs go away!

Great but has some glitches.
I love this game and I highly recommend it but it does have a couple of quirks. Sometimes during play a stranger mode it seems like opponents are able to play words more than once. I wish there was a way to see every word an opponent plays after the game.
It also slows down after a few games and I need to close the app and restart to get things back to normal.

Great games. Couple of bugs.
Big fan. My current favorite game. Spend a lot of time playing. However there seems to be a glitch that allows the computer opponents to repeat words including high value words.
Would be optimal to be able to wait for human opponents rather than computer opponents if so desired.
Would also be optimal to be able to communicate with equally matched opponents to allow more idealized matches.
Occasionally seems that opponents are able to submit too many words too fast to be real - I’m all for playing excellent opponents, but there cannot be huge lines parallel and simultaneous to one another without a glitch.
Agree with previous comments about increasing lag with ongoing play.

YESH 👌 PURRFECT
So, I searched up “exploding kittens” on the App Store, and it cost money! I like the card game, so I was pretty sad. Then I saw this game made by the same creator. Downloaded, and started playing. The storyline is hilarious, and I like that you add new things every level. The artwork is 👌. I love this. And: NO ADS! Super fun, recommend for everyone! Kids and Adults alike will enjoy the humor, graphics, and sound effects!

Nice..but stop erasing my profile??
Twice now everything has been reset. Same phone same everything. Its twice since the most recent update. Ive lost my purchases, my stats, everything. Its getting annoying. The game itself is great hence 4 stars. This profile loss is not. And no my kitty’s name isn't vulgar or anything. Loosing my purchases in particular is extremely frustrating and seems a major bug.

Love it, but keep having to reload bc buggy
I like the multiplayer version and can play several games in a row without getting bored. But l’ve had to delete and re-download the app at least three times because it’ll just get stuck on a blank screen. This latest time, instead of a blank screen, the music and sound effects have stopped working. And they’re on of my fave parts of the game. It’s so funny to hear them say “nice job”’or “Loooser” at the end, and it gives u clues when your playing as to what words work. So a little frustrated at this point :(

Clever, challenging, fun!
This game is awesome, a mashup of Boggle and tower defense/survival.
I played through the story mode (which also serves as a tutorial) so that I could play arcade mode (which is the only mode I want to play, I don’t care about multiplayer).
I really like arcade mode. The pace slowly increases, but it’s not stressful to me. It’s fun to try to beat my high score.
I haven’t had the game delete progress yet, like others have mentioned, so I hope that is fixed because I wouldn’t want to play story mode again just to get to the arcade mode. I suggest the developers should let arcade mode always be unlocked for those of us who already know how to play, so if the game resets we can still play arcade mode. I haven’t had any issues yet though.
I appreciate the super fair monetizing for such a good game, and no ads. I like supporting developers like this and plan to make one of the optional IAP (purely cosmetic, thank you) to support them.
This is the only word game that’s ever felt fun to me. Thank you, it’s a keeper!

Good, but...
I love the Oatmeal (one of my cats looks just like this!), like simple little fun brain-teaser games, traditionally didn’t like word games but this one changed my mind about them somewhat. It’s a great little game for enjoying a little break between tasks or what have you, even after the excitement of the new game marathon obsession has worn off. My biggest problem with it, which I hope they fix with an updated version, is that once you’ve gone through all the levels, they’re unlocked to play at will... for a while. Then, they mysteriously all lock again and you have to start over from scratch with the full stories, etc. There are a few levels in the game for which I just don’t care that much, and having them unlocked was a nice way of playing the levels I liked and skipping the ones I didn’t. Now that my game has re-locked for a THIRD time, I just don’t see myself warring with futility again in the hope that once I unlock a level, it’s going to stay that way. :-/
Update: just locked for a fourth time. I’ve decided I can live without it. :-(

Fun game, but very annoying bugs
This is a fun game that I really enjoy, but it seems like every other week or so, my profile gets completely deleted. It’s a bummer to lose my high score in the arcade, but what’s super annoying is having to do the whole story tutorial over again to unlock the features. Especially the stupid deer song. It was funny the first time, but after 5-6 times, it is super annoying and there’s no way to fast forward. It is really a drag when I just want to play the game.

Good, but some issues
The game is fun, but there are some bugs. Sometimes when you use power ups, they become stuck on the playing field and then you can’t use any of your other ones. Additionally, the game slows down a lot if you’ve been playing for awhile, so sometimes it’s harder to make words because the letter wheel doesn’t respond fast enough.
As an improvement to the game, I don’t think both competitors should be able to play the same word. Once a word is played, it should be barred from play. That way, if I play a word early, I can’t later be burned by the exact same word later on when I am out of words using that letter.

Response from developer
Hey there! Thanks so much for the feedback! We'll be sure to pass it along to our developers.
I LOVE it!
As a long time player of words games, Kitty Letter is a really fun twist. I’m totally addicted! I wish there was more to the story mode—I finished it within half an hour and would love more chapters—but other than that I have zero complaints. Also, thanks for not making messaging between players A Thing. Too many apps allow that, and it usually leads to unwanted harassment.

Too buggy
The bugs in this game just blow up its potential. Multiplayer still has issues with not showing attacking cats - screen blank then suddenly health goes down. Same with power ups - my friend watches the ham/fork poof from screen when I claim them, yet saw none of my cats heading towards power up.
The real annoying part though is game seems to take a kitty poo every few days and all your stats and progress end up in litter box. I’ve completed full story mode twice to get everything unlocked.. fine for a while and then next multiplayer game I’m back to randomly generated name and story mode resets to fresh player.
