Disappointed with new changes
I play this game nightly, have all of the cats I can unlocked and all but one in completed rooms. I love this game and just play now for the puzzles and unlocking extra stuff. But now I get less cans for the hard levels, and the shiny squares don’t make up for the cut. Really disappointing and has caused me to move on. Hopefully devs revert this.
Less cans
This game used to be my go to game, but they lessened the rewards and made it harder to complete each level. It used to be a relaxing game, but now they are pushing you towards buying more cans in shop. Less f2p friendly
lowered cans for no reason
cant wait to finish the game to get it over with. was fun while it lasted
What is up with the update!??!?!!
Ok I don’t know what is going on, but when the newest update dropped, I’ve been getting less tuna cans even though I’m doing the hard puzzles; not to mention, I feel like that mistakes are a bit harsher, like it doesn’t take much to lose a star. What happened?!!! Can you guys please fix this!!
bad update guys
less cans and less mistakes allowed. this was such a relaxing game for me now it feels not worth playing. super disappointing
New Update makes playing bad
The new update makes playing the game bad. It nearly halved how much you get from completing hard levels.
New update universally hated
The new update reduced the rewards for the nonograms with zero justification. This is a cozy and relaxing game, reducing rewards is not the move for this particular game.
Decreased Rewards Suck
Loved the game until I noticed they are giving fewer gold cans per level.
Why timegate?
UPDATE: Make a good product -> progressively make it worse with each update to waste people’s time and money
The new star update reduces the amount of cans given per level. You will take longer to complete
Not a fan of the music box update. I do not care that you can watch ads, I do not want to feel pressured to login twice a day to keep up. It is irrelevant that I have thousands and hundreds of the resources to make it up if I miss a day. This is an unnecessary FOMO to add in.
At least make it so I only have to login once a day to do two daily puzzles without spending extra resources.
I have bought every single Cat microtransaction and this is disappointing.

new update for the worst
i love this game and i play it pretty much every day but the downgrade of cans + less opportunities for mistakes is annoying. makes me not want to play
Less cans, not as fun
They reduced the amount of cans given out per puzzle. Debating uninstalling
Too many ads.
I don’t mind ads, but it’s too much when they pop up automatically even if the user doesn’t click on them.
Mid round ads
They at some point made it so ads will interrupt your gameplay to play a video. I have played this game every day since I got it and I no longer want to even open it. There's ads that play AFTER gameplay sometimes, which is fine, and there's a constant banner ad that plays at the bottom all the time, so there's absolutely NO excuse for mid-game ads that completely stop gameplay.
New update has major balancing issues
Very dissapointed with the new “shiny squares” addition to the game and how drastically they have cut the number of cans you can earn by completing puzzles. I do think it was previously too unbalanced and was too easy to hoard cans as f2p but they’ve over-corrected majorly and it’s abysmal now.
Revert back to the older version please
I have played this game for years at this point. I have every cat in the game and have been trying to do the trophy section for each cat. However with this new update, it has made that challenge even more challenging by reducing the can amount greatly. Not only that but it went back to having limited error chances, leading to level restarts.
I can forgive the trophy update and even the snow globe update but making an update that gives less currency to an ez relaxing game is a BIIIIG NO NO. Please go back to the previous version because this is just NOT it. I love this game and don’t want it to go down the greedy rabbit hole like many game devs do.

Sucks to leave this game behind
Last update ruined it. Lower rewards equals money grab. Paying customer here. Frustrated that I’m completing hard levels for so few rewards. Goodbye.
new update made me lose interest
i have been playing this for awhile and really enjoyed it. the newest update ended up decreasing the amount of rewards you get from completing a level. i mainly do the hard levels, which used to give 12 cans when finished. now, they give 8 with a chance to earn a few extra rewards if you correctly place an x or colour square on a diamond. i have no clue why this is what was changed. it makes the game more tedious and has turned me away from wanting to play.
what is this new update?
i loved this game so much before the most recent update. i love the cats and all the things to do. but downgrading from 12 cans on the hard to 8? truly not worth it. and now it only takes two wrong hits before you lose a star, before it was about 5. if i accidentally fat finger a space, i lose a star and restart. and the new shiny’s truly aren’t worth it. sometimes it’s a can or two, and rarely a pencil, but if you mess up the row, you just don’t get it. the update is truly making me contemplate uninstalling the game.
Oof
Lessening rewards per puzzle is certainly a choice.
THIS is the update?
Been waiting ages for an update to add more levels and instead of adding more they decrease the reward you get for completing each level? Super disappointing and off putting. Not nearly as interested in playing anymore
New update is awful
I’ve loved this game for over a year, but the new update makes it much harder to earn cans. Halving the # of cans you get per level, taking away more cans with mistakes…it’s ruined the relaxation.
Bad update
I love this game but the new update sucks you should put it back 👎
Give me my cans
Loved this game until they halved the rewards this update
new changes
I love this game.. like to the point where i’m level 2058 hard and 755 easy and I have every single cat, even the ones that are only purchasable, and I’m earning their trophies. I however do not like the new update they released today, to the point where I’m not interested in playing anymore.
Instead of getting 12 cans for completing a hard level with 3 stars, they now give 8, and give 2 more in the nanogram puzzle, but those aren’t guaranteed because you have to correctly place an X or color square…
It’s the same thing with the easy levels, instead of 5 cans, they give 4 and 1 opportunity in the puzzle.
It’s just really unfortunate to have a negative change like this especially as someone who has been playing for a long time and has spent money in the game.. all the cats are so cute and the art style is amazing and it’s such a fun game to play when you’re bored, but this update is not it :(

Loved this game until the newest version
This game was so enjoyable until today, where It was changed so levels give you half of what they used to and you lost stars faster. I am already starting to hate this game I’ve played for months now.
Cute game, invasive ads
At some point the game started pushing ads in the middle of a puzzle. This is in addition to the ads randomly appearing before or after completing a puzzle and all the random in-game micro transactions. It’s no longer enjoyable at this point.
