### 1/5 — bad for ipad player

*2026-08-11*

used to play it through ipad in horizontal mode but not I cannot

### 3/5 — Can’t play

*2026-08-11*

New update, now can play only on your phone, iPad and another tablet need keep upright, sad

### 5/5 — Instrument generator is annoying

*2026-07-06*

This game has been my almost my daily routine because it’s so good. The only thing that I don’t like is that the instrument generator in the snow map section automatically spews out instruments and it quickly clogs up my board.

### 5/5 — one of the best

*2026-04-19*

sticky hands once again making a great game out of an over saturated genre. i was expecting a boring incomprehensible plot merge game but i really quite enjoy this one.

### 3/5 — 겜 밸런스가 이상함

*2026-04-16*

에너지 진짜 쥐똥만큼인데 일일퀘 난이도 엄청높고 모든 퀘스트의 보상이 너무 짬.

### 2/5 — He’s dead!

*2026-04-04*

So far the story line is more positive than Merge Survival which is a big improvement. Though the game just confirmed the cat froze to death waiting for his human to return and I don’t know if I can continue.

For game play, the fact that multiple block generators only have so many blocks in them is annoying. You have to start each of those back from scratch (or pretty close to scratch) to get back to playing. It is a huge waste of time and energy.

Also why does the game keep creating more block generators and ‘retire’ old ones (but keep them available)? The board gets crowded and confusing enough without that.

**Developer response:** Hello, this is the Merge Cats - Catopia Puzzle team.
Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear the overall story felt more positive to you, but we’re sorry that some scenes felt heavier than expected. Our goal was to tell the story of a lonely cat finding comfort and a new beginning, and we understand it may not have come across that way for everyone.

We also appreciate your comments about generator limits, rebuilding progress, and board clutter. We understand how frustrating and tiring that can feel, and we will carefully share your feedback with the team as we continue improving the game experience. Thank you for your support.

### 5/5 — 진짜 재밌어요

*2026-04-02*

재밌고 귀여워요 그래픽이 너무나 깔끔하고 완벽해요.. 더더 흥했으면 좋겠습니다 
완성도 높은 게임입니다

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요. Merge Cats - Catopia Puzzle 개발팀입니다. 저희 게임을 재밌게 즐겨주셔서 고맙습니다. 덕분에 오늘도 개발팀은 냥기운 가득 충전했습니다. 오래오래 함께할 수 있도록 귀엽고 재미있는 순간들을 계속 준비하겠습니다. 감사합니다.

### 1/5 — Dead cat?

*2026-03-28*

I didn’t even get to game play because it seems that the opening cut scene is a cat dying after being abandoned and then going to Catopia. Not cool when I was expecting a cute mind numbing game.

**Developer response:** Hello, this is the Merge Cats - Catopia Puzzle team.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry the opening scene felt darker than you expected. Our intention was to show a lonely cat finding comfort and happiness in Catopia, but we understand it may not have come across that way. We truly appreciate your thoughts and will keep them in mind as we continue to improve the game. Thank you.

### 4/5 — 재밌긴한데

*2026-03-27*

아쉬움이 많네요.. 퍼즐게임 자체에 대한건 그래도 개선이 되었는데 스테이지나 배경같은 부분이 특히 그렇네요. Mimpi Dreams 같은 게임을 좀 참고하셔서 시각적인 재미를 추가하면 좋을 거 같아요. 그리고 조금 시간을 들여서라도 세로버전도 지원하면 어떨까 싶네요.

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요. Merge Cats - Catopia Puzzle 개발팀입니다. 저희 게임을 재밌게 즐겨주셔서 고맙습니다. 보내주신 따뜻한 응원에 진심으로 감사드립니다. 앞으로도 오래도록 함께하실 수 있도록 더욱 완성도 높은 Catopia를 만들어가겠습니다. 감사합니다.

### 4/5 — Can't play now

*2026-03-20*

Have enjoyed playing this. But now the App keeps saying there's an update and when taken to the appstore to update, there's only the option to "open" and will not update. 
Cannot play now.

**Developer response:** Hello. This is the Merge Cats - Catopia Puzzle development team. We sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience caused by the game not functioning properly after the update. The issue preventing gameplay has now been resolved, and you are able to play the game. We apologize once again for the inconvenience and will conduct more thorough testing for future updates. Thank you.
