Started over the first time. App crashed the second. ### 2/5 — Slow as a snail *2014-06-08, version 1.1* Ok so it's really slow y'all need to speed it up ### 2/5 — Rough around the edges *2014-05-15, version 1.0* The puzzle aspect of this game is clever and fun but the app itself is slow and unresponsive at times. It crashed several times when trying to play, and it just felt slow and hard to play. Could use better graphics and performance, but the gameplay is fun and the puzzles are unique. Would love to see this updated to fix any bugs. ### 3/5 — Broken :-( *2014-05-10, version 1.0* I have a 4s and it exited after I placed the banana on the tutorial... Then wouldn't let me go back to level one after I restarted. Game was kinda lagging overall too. Fix please 😢😢😢😢 ### 3/5 — Crashes *2014-05-06, version 1.0* I opened the game and got to the level menu. I tapped level one and it crashes. I gave it a 3 because i never got to play it. ### 3/5 — Okay *2014-05-06, version 1.0* A Rube Goldberg-style app, where you combine various objects to help the cat bust out the doggy. The visuals, however, are rather lacking in detail and how realistic they appear. Could use some additional work. ### 3/5 — eh 😕 *2014-05-06, version 1.0* The dog looks a little scary for some reason, its slow, it lags, its boring, and hard to play. I really don't get the point of this game. I think its to open the cage door for the dog i guess. I kind of don't like this game sorry. ### 4/5 — Amazing puzzle game! *2014-05-15, version 1.0* wow this is really an amazing puzzle game! I played again and again. So funny. But not easy to gain level :) It is hard to solve :) awesome game! ### 4/5 — Coolest game *2014-05-13, version 1.0* This is a very creative game, and I love it. ### 4/5 — Good Puzzler for young kids. *2014-05-13, version 1.0* The game is short but straight forward and educational on its own right. Though recommended to be played by youngster, for a young adult like me it's a "meh". So basically defend on age preference. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun, cute, and addicting *2014-06-09, version 1.1* New levels and tools are very fun, clever, and challenging! Can't wait for even more levels! ### 5/5 — best *2014-05-09, version 1.0* very good ### 5/5 — Best puzzle game *2014-05-07, version 1.0* This is the best puzzle game I have ever played which is really challenging fun and addictive ... Really cool game ### 5/5 — Great puzzle game *2014-05-07, version 1.0* Really intuitive! And the graphics are very pretty (the dog is so cute!). I definitely recommend the download! It's loads of fun! ### 5/5 — Super Fun! *2014-05-06, version 1.0* Nice and simple game ### 5/5 — Super fun! *2014-04-30, version 1.0* Challenging, but not intimidating. I am really enjoying figuring out how to get the dog out of the cage so that he can kick some kitty booty! :)) ### 5/5 — Best puzzle game ever! *2014-04-28, version 1.0* The graphics and music are great, but what makes this game so much fun are the challenging levels and the responses by the dog and cat to what happens when you fail or succeed in solving the puzzle and releasing the dog! Really looking forward to more levels! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
