Our Expert Score

85/100

Drop The Cat is a masterclass in the 'physics-puzzler' genre, managing to be both incredibly relaxing and occasionally quite a head-scratcher. The core loop of removing objects to navigate a round cat into a basket is reminiscent of classics like 'Cut the Rope,' but with a physics engine that feels a bit more fluid and unpredictable in a fun way. The cat's 'roundness' isn't just a design choice; it's a gameplay mechanic that determines how it rolls and bounces off different surfaces.

The level design is where the game truly shines. It introduces mechanics like fans and seesaws at a perfect pace, never overwhelming the player but always ensuring that you have to think about gravity in three or four steps. I particularly loved the 'stars' placement; they aren't just for completionists but often serve as a subtle hint on the path you should take. If you’re looking for a cozy, low-stress game that still makes you feel smart when you solve a tricky level, this is it.

A relaxing stress game
Mon Dec 29 2025 Otter Girl Official

This game is 1/2 of my relaxing time killers, I love it already and this is my first day and turned out I’m obsessed but some suggestions 1. Make timer longer for harder levels 2. Lower price on the ballons 3. Make a player gift package 4. REPORT THE ### FAKE GAME THAT HAS THE SAME NAME AND BASICALLY SAME THING 5. Make seasonal levels or weekly levels or both. I love this amazing game and I get time to do2/2 my relaxing time killers: Zen Word while I wait for the heart to fill up. In my honest opinion the adds are the right amount so you don’t get bags under your eyes, sometimes I just take a small break, go watch stuff on my device and come back tbh, And no crazy gossip harbor adds yet :3. Not tryna be rude to gossip harbor though. I also get adds on your block blast game thingy *whatever it’s called* and I enjoy it :3. Please actually do one of my suggestions, would really appreciate it btw how do I view the developer responses on my reviews? Whoever reads this, I recommend getting it, great time killer also write in your review how to read developer feedback plz! -best wishes, Otter Girl

Great puzzle game
Sun Jan 11 2026 Rosemary Thyme

Great puzzle game, good mix of challenging and satisfying. I normally hate timed games, but it does add a level of urgency and constraint. I love the aesthetic too. I haven’t had to use any power-ups to get through a level yet, and I’m in the hundreds. That being said- I would like to have a zen mode, and also be able to either replay old levels or clear my progress so I can functionally replay the game. I don’t want to wait for updates to get more levels. Like- I don’t remember how to solve level 40, I’ll happily redo it for fun. I actually considered buying the no ads version, but $8 is a bit pricey. If it was like $3-$5 I would have paid to gave ads removed already. Plus I’ve seen some people complain about bugs and the app not working, and while I haven’t experienced those problems myself- I don’t want to pay $8, then have the app stop working because of a bad update or something. I’m using an outdated version of the game (Halloween edition) because I’m too nervous about bad updates- I’ve had too many bad experiences in the past. I had played the same company’s ‘Box Cat Jam’ which I liked- but the UI became so cluttered with Stuff that I ended up getting overstimulated when opening the app and so I stopped playing it- and I don’t want that to happen to this one.

Anything but relaxing
Sun Nov 16 2025 BeesAreScary

I’ve gotten as far as level 423 and am now considering deleting this game because it’s just too stressful. If this game didn’t have a timer, I would never delete it. Technically, each level is solvable within the time given, but you have to know exactly where each block is going to go and have very little room for error. This means playing the same level over and over and over again until you get it down. Since you only get 5 lives and either have to watch ads to get more or wait for them to refill, this can take a good while. As you complete the levels, you unlock more “features”. The game makes it sound exciting but it’s just an added obstacle that they won’t be giving you any extra time to get around. Twice now, when the game has updated, it changed the level that I was currently playing. In one case, it shortened the time 25 seconds and changed a small block to a big block. I had to watch the walkthrough for a different but very similar game just to figure out how to beat it. It is definitely possible to get far without spending any of your own money but you are going to watch endless ads. Also, the Heaven Chase is a joke. Having to beat seven levels in a row to win the “grand prize” has proven to be near impossible. If someone out there has managed to complete it, they deserve way more than 10,000 coins or whatever you get.

Timer is way too fast
Sat Jan 17 2026 SafeImpala

I agree with another reviewer that the timer is too fast on the hard and hardest levels. I’m on about level 30 and the first levels the timers seemed fine, and when you unlock a new obstacle it seems to give you plenty of time on that introductory level. But again I’m on level 32 and I shouldn’t have to take screenshots and pause the game in order to complete the hard-hardest puzzles on time (level 33 which is “hard”has a 40 second timer!?!). I also should not need to know the complete solution to the problem immediately after starting in order to complete the level on time. There should be extra time (or even extra moves if later they are measured by that as opposed to time) for mistakes. I would much rather not have a timer at all than a timer that is so short. I think you have to complete 6-9 levels to get enough gems to add 20 seconds to the timer (without going out of your way to watch ads) And I think you only have 5 lives by default. Maybe there could be an option to not play with a timer? But regardless the timer is wayyyy too short. Also I can’t seem to find a way to play earlier levels? Not sure what’s up with that. I got this game cause it looks cute and like a relaxing brain teaser, but it’s making me so mad I kinda don’t want to play it anymore. I should be able to make mistakes and relax while playing the game.

Good Game Spoiled by Bad Monetization
Mon Jan 19 2026 Satar Gaéoédoæ

Unlike every other game I’ve seen advertised, the core gameplay of Drop the Cat is really strong and it shines through even through the ads, which unlike most ads accurately portray the core gameplay. It’s a fresh take on the rush hour puzzle genre that’s more action oriented than most, with solid level design and endearing aesthetics. If levels existed in a game with traditional monetization and a corresponding classic puzzle game design where you could say replay levels arbitrarily to get more stars with better time, I’d give it five stars. Sadly the Candy Crush style monetization spoils the game by limiting playability and making levels far harder than they ought to be in order to coerce the player into spending money on boosts and lives. In particular, there is a ridiculous spike in difficulty after level ten. Despite the high difficulty, the game is entirely fair in the sense there is no randomization or hidden information in the puzzles, so you can plan ahead for levels you’re struggling with and get around some of the issues so the game remains playable even if you ignore the monetization, but it would be so much better if it I could pay once for a normal puzzle game without all the extra trash.

Good game. Development, please read
Sun Feb 15 2026 peytonn!!

This is truly a fun and challenging app. It’s entertaining, and a great way to pass time. However, there is one small problem. The timer, in concept, provides a reliable way to increase the challenge level and stimulate the brain. But unfortunately, it seems that the timers are much too short to truly activate the brain’s puzzle-solving process in an effective way. As a college student majoring in game mechanics+concepts, minoring in psychology, i would state that my educated opinion is that the timer should be extended or optionally removed. If there was an easier way to extend, such as watching an ad, the players would have a better opportunity to fully stimulate the prefrontal cortex (the logical thinking and problem solving nerve in the brain). If there was no timer, or a setting that allows a time limit-free mode, players would have a greater way to learn and engage as they wouldn’t be stressing over the timer— rather, they would be thinking clearly and thoroughly. Overall, the game is wonderful in concept and has a cute graphic design and theme. Developers, please consider my educated suggestions— have a great day, and gamers, enjoy playing!

Paid for game, still have to sit through ads
Wed Feb 11 2026 mrselliott2012

Drop the Cat is such a simple, fun game! I love the challenge of the timer. As far as the game goes, I would give it 5 stars. My problem is that I only get 5 lives before I have to wait for the lives to reload! I paid for this game and I thought that meant I wouldn’t have to watch ads to play but that’s not the case. What did I even pay for? Plus, the life timer is glitchy. My timer was counting down from 11 minutes until I would have 1 life appear, so I watched an ad hoping I could finally win this level, thinking I would watch one ad, then 10 minutes later another would become available. Nope. Somehow the timer restarted to 30 minutes and either I didn’t get credit for the ad I just watched or the timer glitched and restarted after I earned a life for watching an ad. Either way I’m about to just go find this same game in a different format because the greed in this app is getting to me. It’s ridiculous that I paid for a game I can’t play without watching tons of ads. Honestly I’d love to have my money back.

Lots of problems
Sat Feb 07 2026 Janice8888888

Could be a very fun game but there are several problems. First, the time allowed per board, especially hard boards is too short. There should be double or even triple the time allowed. The ads are way too long! There should be a limit on 30 seconds per ad and that should include all the ad screens. Often these ads start at 60 seconds and then there are several other screens of 15, 20, or 30 seconds! Just too much! To ad insult to injury, there has recently been a new screen before an ad that indicate that the player needs to ‘x-out’ of the ads when they are done and requests that player “be polite”! What is this??? Just more insult by wasting my time to interrupt my thoughts. Delete this screen immediately! It ads nothing to the game and is quite an annoyance. Finally, stop ads that are supposed to be interactive but only let the player make 2 or 3 moves and then keep providing only the App Store purchase pop-up leaving the player to stare at that for 45-55 seconds. What is the purpose of that??? If it’s interactive, let the player play it. Otherwise, make it a short ad (10-15 seconds at most).
