What people are saying
Mostly positive, with praise for scope and innovation, but some cite bugs and unclear progression.
Many players celebrate A Planet Full of Cats as the biggest and best Devcats game yet, praising its Metroidvania-style exploration, variety of puzzles, and heartfelt story. One fan calls it "by far their best game ever" (R9), while another notes it "keeps on giving" (R4). The art style and soundtrack are widely admired, and the game's length is seen as a major plus. [9][4]
However, a significant minority report frustration with bugs, lack of guidance, and tedious boss fights. One player says they "gave up" because they had "no clue what to do next" (R20), and another describes the game as "full of bugs" and "stressed me out" (R34). Some also note performance issues with the X-Vision feature on larger maps (R14, R15). [20][34][14][15]

60 of 253 · most liked firstA Planet Full of Cats is a nice game but It's more like a puzzle than a hidden game. Compare to the others games, this one is extremely difficult, we don't have any hints to know what to do, we spending most of the time visiting rooms again and again and constantly checking the map to see where we are. We unlock the teleport at the end of the game with is completly useless. A good game is supposed to be played on your own without having to consult the guide but unfortunatly, if we want to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will automatically buy any DevCats game the second it releases. I love the style and the studio and I want to support them. This one feels more involved when it comes to story than past installments, which is incredibly exciting. That said, I've already encountered a few bugs, and I'm genuinely at a loss on how to progress with where I'm at because there's a lack of guidance here that is stalling me. Wondering if the bugs I'm encountering are halting my progression somehow. Either way, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I need to start by saying this breaks my “find cats” heart to give anything DevCats a bad review. I LOVE this company, and I will still buy each of their games, no question, but this one wasn’t it. The art is still cute, music is still a vibe, but it lost the original DevCats feel. It was trying to be a traditional puzzle game, very much not “find cats”. The cats were the easiest part ( in which I miss their ‘hidden cats’ so much ). Most time was spent not knowing where to go next if you miss…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would love to recommend this game (just like all the previous titles) but I can't do that in its current state. After an hour of playing, beating the first boss and finding all the available cats and catnip, I am at a loss and cannot proceed. I have absolutely no idea what to do next. The progress is blocked by some ice, and I have no idea how to get past it. I am told by Leo to go do my main mission, but there is no main mission. I'm just baffled. Also, a hint button (similar to previous…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It saddens me to give this a 'not recommended', but it is the worst game in this series. It's full of bugs, it keeps crashing over and over. And all the backtracking and quests are really confusing. Instead of feeling like a cozy game this stressed me out.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This seems.... rushed. I like all the other games from Devcats and this one just doesn't have the same polish. You can't skip dialog, so if you misclick you have go through the same dialogs again and again with no skip. Unclear where to go next, and no map type navigation that the other games had. There is a map, you just can't use it to get around. It's a bit sad to see and I hope there is improvement going forward for other fans of the Dev's.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to preface this - I *love* these games and this Dev. However, this entry does not hold up to the standards set by previous entries. There are some issues that could change this review to a recommendation if they were patched, optimized and a little bit of quality of life updating was done. Pros: - Long playtime compared to other entries (5ish hours) - Lots of story - Reasons to replay/backtrack on different parts of the map - New Challenges Cons: - game doesn't load area screen if…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a big fan of Devcats and have played most of their “hidden kitty” games. Despite my general reluctance to embrace feline friendships in real life, I admit that I have taken a shine to Fofino and Lily. Plus, I'm a sucker for games that help out a cause close to my heart (animal rescue). A Planet Full of Cats is another worthy title. Hundreds of cats to find, a story to follow, and a chance to be a cat hero. A new mechanic was introduced which required you to find invisible hidden clouds…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Planet Full of Cats, a World Full of Charm A Planet Full of Cats is probably the longest Devcats game I've played so far, taking me around 6 hours to complete. And honestly, I enjoyed every minute of it! The setting is charming, the story adds something extra to the experience, and there's a wonderful variety of environments and hidden cats to discover. More Than Just Finding Cats What I appreciated most was the variety. Searching for all those cats never felt like just repeating the same…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was literally shedding tears and losing hair, struggling to find those spores and tentacles. ( probably had lost more hair than my cat, and we all know it's shedding season :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game just keeps on giving... When I think I'm almost done there is more, and I'm still not done.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sorry to say that I can't recommend this game unless some changes are made. Having played every other game in the franchise I'm hardly inexperienced in this adorable cat rodeo but this entry is simply frustrating and confusing. The reason is that there is absolutrly no indication of what do do next, nor any percentage meter for different areas. So you end up stumbling back and forth over and over again, looking for some tiny detail you missed - like finding a random rock on the floor on an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good as always! But a Hint button would be nice. Edit: The Hint button is in the game, but it has to be earned as an upgrade, because it's a metroidvania game, with upgrades, deep story and a lot of puzzles. Also, I didn't quite expect to spend whopping 8 hours on a hidden objects game and even less I expected such depth and variety of gameplay! The game is completely worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Devcats freaking much!! And with this new banger game, they have managed to increase my love for them even more! ↬ The story is more of a focus here than in the previous games, which I personally think is fantastic. There are many little puzzles, and the fact that you aren't explicitly told what to do makes it all more exciting, because it makes the world feel truly explorable. (I read that in future updates their adding questmarks, so you know where to go) Some of the hidden objects…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Devcats. I own all of their games and have 100%ed most of them, and I appreciate their adoption-promoting mission. (On an especially personal note, the games have been comforting after the death of our own beloved cat last year.) But A Planet Full of Cats is just not fully baked yet. While it's delightfully ambitious, it desperately needed more playtesting by people outside the developer team before being released. Even without addressing the many bugs that have been reported, at a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVE DEVCAT GAMES!!!!!!!!! But there is a huge lack of guidance in this one and its making it very difficult and frustrating to progress within the game. Just going to each room several times backtracking just to find nothing. STILL LOVE THE GAMES THOOOOOUGH
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so far, this game has been super fun! everyone complaining about a hint button to find cats maybe has not realized that there are breakable panels in some of the rooms that will open a separate room that gives you an upgrade after doing a puzzle. I got it literally within 10-20 minutes of playing the game. there could be more attention drawn to them in the first place, but as you're looking for the cats, you're going to end up clicking one of the breakable panels anyways. update: ok, would…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesn't matter what game it is, I am always going to support new Devcats game from day 1. The art style is fantastic, and I never get bored trying to 100% complete each one. After just 20 minutes of playing, I can already tell this is a banger and possibly the biggest Devcats game yet. My only small critique is the lack of a hint button, which can make finding the last one or two cats a bit frustrating at times. I’m not sure if this is something that unlocks later in the game, though.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honeslty don't regret spending my money for a good cause, however this game was not as good as the previous ones. The game felt like a chore to finish. I appreciate the effort put into everything, but I wish I could skip through dialogues and cut scenes. I had to sit through it all even though I genuinely didn't care about the story. Due to being forced to read the dialogue, I noticed some grammatical errors too. I will say that I liked the different puzzles you can do besides finding the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This latest game from Devcats had surprisingly many negative reviews, around 10% right now and was down at mixed for a short while at launch. This in a genre where even the most basic games seldom get anything other than "overwhelmingly positive" as long as they have a base level of quality and from a dev that has quite possibly one of the highest avarage positive rating of all developers on steam. Playing it I can kind of understand why. Not that I agree, in fact I hope this is the direction…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played all of the search & find games that Devcats has made, so I can confidently state that this is by far their best game ever. The story behind the game is fun and the actual searching & finding isn’t too easy or too hard, it’s just right. The art style is perfect and the more interactive and moving parts in this game made it all the more fun! All of the errands that you have to do for the cats naturally sort of pushes you in the right direction across the map. And as you progress…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure if game broken, bad design, or what, but I'm constantly lost, items in my inventory don't work, or I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm told I need to use x-ray but it won't work. In the room I actually did get x-ray to work I find that I can't turn it off to leave the room except to quit the game and restart. Just seems like someone said "ship it" and they did at 75% done.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edited to make it a positive recommendation as many of the below issues have been solved and the devs are actively working on it. I will leave the review up as-is until they are done and I replay to re-review. --- This is one of those games for which there should be a neutral rating. There is a lot of good in this game. Cats are fun to find, the logic puzzles are nice, and the story is amusing at times with a lot of references to Metroid in particular. The music is also very good throughout.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's just not the same as the other ones.... there's no secret cats and that's my favourite part. there's plenty of cats to find many areas but it's just not the same... maybe it will get better but it really is a shame cause i was looking forward to it...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the whole series of the game that Devcats made, but I won't recommend A Planet Full of Cats, at least for now. Too many bugs, random crashes, low performance, etc. lots of time I just stuck at somewhere and don't have a clear clue what's for next. It's a good game with whole issues fixed, but for now, just not recommend

neutral · AI labelView post →A Planet Full of Cats increasingly leaves behind the cozy "find a bunch of cats" meditative feel that is what made earlier episodes so good. It's frustrating. Lots of aspects are locked and unintuitive. For instance, I have a "power paw" and there's no indication of where or how to use the "power paw." I am locked by an ice block, but there is seemingly no way to make the "power paw" interact with the ice block. I'm not asking for help with this one instance; I'm using it as an *example*…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't feel discouraged by the negative reviews! There were some issues upon launch, but the devs are actively listening to the community and have already fixed/adapted most of it. Overall, it's another great game from devcats, longer than the other installments and with a few different features that make it even more fun. I hope people edit their reviews
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, this is the first game i will rate as "not recommended." Way too tedious with the navigation, all the different upgrades, lots of backtracking and wondering what to do, bugs, crashes, and lag. The Xray portions on the big maps are absolutely awful, with so few FPS I could have counted them by hand. The main character has just decided to try to be the worst being in the game, constantly passive-aggressive, and made me wish I could just play without any dialogue. The bosses…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately I found this to be the weakest of the series so far. The actual cat-finding part seems like it was not the priority - it was WAY too easy. I would say at least half the time I found everything on a first pass, no cute hidden cats or clever hiding places. Second, the structure was really frustrating, not just the literal backtracking but having to remember what every object was and whether I had used it or not. Third, the sound mixing was weird, and the ugly yelling from the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another great game from Devcats, though this one has some performance issues at this time when using X-Vision to hunt for some of the hidden objects, especially on one larger map. On launch, the game offers two settings, one for older PCs. Do try running the game under the other setting if you have issues. Other than that, if you have played their other games, you know what to expect from this, so I won't go into detail. If you haven't played them, I'd recommend starting with the older games…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to sit on this one for a while. I really like the series of games from Devcats but I think this was my first time buying one right on launch. So I don't know if this state of the game at launch was normal for them or not. I thought I was purchasing a finished game, but this one felt like a beta access. It was so full of bugs and rough gameplay that it was difficult to get into an enjoyable flow state. I was able to finish the game by just being insistent and sometimes giving up for a bit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love these devs and i've purchased all of their games. this one is a buggy mess :( it's crashed several times, and it's frozen/glitched on me more than once, to the point where i had to restart my file. it feels like they bit off more than they could chew with the vision of this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Devcats games, but this one is frustrating. You can easily get stuck without knowing where to go, and if the game bugs out like in the water room pipe you can’t progress at all. It used to be such a chill cat game, now it just makes me mad and totally ruins the vibe..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cats/20, great game as always. The hint button is a power that can be unlocked after playing the game for a bit, for those who worry about it. X-ray vision sometimes feels really laggy on bigger maps which is annoying and makes it hard to see anything, but it can be fixed by leaving the room and coming back. For now I'm stuck at the calmar boss and can't find the tentacles, they're very difficult to see in my opinion (and for bosses, no hint button so unless someone helps me I simply can't keep…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Currently I can't like this game. It has so many bugs and it crashes over and over. :') Everytime I want to enter a room, it get's stuck on a white screen. When I want to go back to the Main Menu it just crashes completely.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved ALL the other games this developer published, but this is a chore to play. I'm stuck. There are dead ends where they don't give enough clues to guide you where you need to go next. Unless they come out with another update, they have the last dollar they'll get from me. People buy these games to chill and relax...they don't want an RPG or "guess what we want you to do next". Find the cats. Get it? Find cats. That's it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not an easy game. I have not finished it. Gave up. No clue what to do next. I did like it up til I gave up. I will go back and try to finish it later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of thought and effort went into this pleasant intergalactic escapade. Folino and his troop of fun-loving fine-lined feline adventurers provide a delightful few hours of hide and go seek to relax after saving the Earth from demons, militia men or angry car-jackers. Would recommend to parents of snotty kids, lonely uncles or even the terminally neurotic as a way to fill a spare rainy afternoon or two.

negative · AI labelView post →It always amazes me how Devcats keep raising their own bar and shooting past it. Planet is their biggest and best game yet. I'm still floored they combined hidden object with METROIDVANIA, and it works. Additionally, what minor nitpicks I have/had about Planet are either already fixed (hints for boss battles), or the team is actively working on fixing as soon as possible (clearer progression hints). The art is amazing as always, the gameplay loop is excellent, and the writing is a lot of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another excellent game from this developer. Hours of fun finding hidden cats but this game has other puzzles and game modes in it as well for a bit of diversity. The storyline is excellent, the graphics immerse you in the new world being explored and the main character has what all cat people will instantly recognise as 'definitely a cat's personality'. The game itself is a little different from some of the other games in this franchise in that's it's a bit more free-roaming and less…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a wonderful addition to the Full of Cats series! Any game by the Devcats is instantly getting a day one purchase from me and I've been looking forward to this one for a while. I've been here since there were just two games in this series and seeing how much this small dev team has grown is insane. We went from a small game that could be beaten in less than an hour, where the only mechanic was finding hidden cats, to an ENTIRE planet full of cats with all sorts of puzzles, hidden areas, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ocarina of Time glitched out and I actually can't get the legitimate 100% anymore, and today has been a day all on its own, so I'm just going to relax and maybe try to finish up A Planet Full of Cats. It's a fun hidden object metroidvania game with a banger soundtrack. twitch.tv/gromfalloon
positive · AI labelView post →Another wonderful game by the devscats! I found the boss fights a bit annoying and tedious, but nothing major.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another certified banger from Devcats. I liked that there was more of a quest thing going on in this game but I do feel like there could be a little better direction at times. Sometimes I found myself a bit stuck and had to go wandering room to room to figure out my next step. Wasn't a big problem though and it wouldn't stop me from recommending the game to anyone who loves hidden object games that have a little something extra.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a repeat game player of Devcats games. I have purchased all of their games on Steam. I even have even been following them. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of their games. Up until this one. :-( This is the first game they have made that is poor. If I didn’t know better, I would say that this couldn’t be a Devcats game. Unfortunately, it is. :-( I have run into several major bugs. Since the point of the entire game is to find all of the hidden cats, it’s pretty bad if one can’t be clicked on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one missed the mark for me. I usually love every game in the Full Of Cats series. This one was the least fun to play. It was confusing, contained a lot of back tracking and I always found myself getting stuck then I would figure it out only to get stuck again! This game is unique compared to the other games in this series which I appreciate. But, the gameplay in the story was not made clear. Every game in the series, excluding this game is very chill and relaxing. This game was just…

neutral · AI labelView post →With A Planet Full of Cats, Devcats has once again delivered a truly excellent hidden object game for cat lovers. The sci-fi setting was a welcome change of pace for me, and I really enjoyed the story aspect. The various gameplay elements, including classic hidden object scenes on two levels, circuit puzzles, poison mixing, and small puzzles, provide plenty of variety. The game's scope offers enough content for many hours of fun. My only minor gripe was the long-standing lack of fast travel.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another great game by Devcats. I've played all of them, and they are a cut above most other "hidden cat" games. Better graphics and better design, and they offer a bit of a story. This one has lots of maps and lots to find, ensuring hours of enjoyable, relaxed gameplay. The only problem I had with this one, however, and I've seen similar reviews or complaints in the discussion area, was that I experienced several crashes. Not softlocks, as some described, but hardlocks, where the screen froze…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best Devcats game yet, multiple puzzles, and MOAR CATs to find. Some of the find cat puzzles were paired with additional steps and quests. AND <no spoilers> hidden quests! Judy really shines in this one (YAY Tuxedo cats FTW!) and a huge sprawling map to explore with generous amounts of achievements. Thanks for a great game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute delight, a hugely impressive game with so much variety and killer soundtracks! Stunning story and art, truly insane how much the DevCats put into it. It makes your brain work and its got its bugs but its most definitely worth the effort to work through. I recommend joining the discord if you have trouble before most guides have time to be uploaded! Plus buying it goes towards a good cause so might as well give it a shot (its so worth it)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another awesome game from Devcats, and easily one of the best. There was so much work and love that went into this and it shows. Multiple minigames and puzzles make the game feel so much fuller. If I had one critique it's that some of the puzzles are a bit too easy, and the bosses can feel a bit tedious, but those and really minor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I enjoyed this game, I've enjoyed their past titles more. This game just doesn't have the charm that their previous games did. Things I enjoyed: - Partial proceeds from the game go to a good cause helping cats - It's still a relaxing object-finding game like the previous titles - Massive improvements in art direction (Although I feel the colour palette felt a little too highly saturated for my taste). - Great soundtrack Here's what I didn't enjoy: - The use of X-ray to find…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not intuitive, and moving away from the actual hidden object genre. This is trying to be too much at the same time, and ends up being frustrating to play instead of relaxing.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While finding cats is fun, the puzzles are really confusing with what item needs to be used where. I gave up. It's not fun and chill, it's arduous and frustrating. The protagonist is not likeable at all, not even in a "flawed character" type way. I don't want to play as her, she's a ****. The first fast travel point doesn't work, just keeps telling me I need to find another one. Backtracking. Lagging with the x-ray vision.
