CompareOpen in App StoreMy favorite Incremental Game I recently got back into Kitten’s Game and remembered why this is my favorite incremental game. Everything feels so unique, like this is its own little world that you are unraveling. You have to fight for progress but it feels great when you figure things out and move forward. Very much recommended.
Late game issues Late game has a lot of issues, both game balance wise as well as calculations. Also it doesn’t support resuming from multitasking so if you have a lot of apps open be prepared to restart often.
Great game UI needs work Overall I have played on mobile for years and desktop the same. 10/10 game but the sidebar scrolling has been broken for that same amount of time where you cannot scroll to the last resources in the list to craft. Thorium requires a lot of craft all maintenance on mobile and it’s crazy this hasn’t been fixed for as long as the bug has been in the game on mobile. Fix it and 5/5 granted
Amazing but iPhone version is behind Android and desktop have the option to pin traders. Recently switched to iPhone and really missing that feature. Switching tabs a few dozen times to spend all my heat trading with leviathans is pretty tedious
Progress suddenly lost As of this morning, all progress is cleared when I open the app. This makes the app unusable. All cloud saves are also cleared when opening the app.
Great on PC, UI needs work Love playing the game on computer browser but the mobile UI is pretty awful and it looses some of the games functionality like the ability the pawse the game. If I had known before I bought the app I wouldn’t have.
Bug Make wood or catnip buttons disappear
I barely understand the point It’s perfect
A masterpiece of game design There are a lot of games nowadays that have gorgeous art and sprawling worlds and are extremely boring to play because the game itself is so poorly designed. This is the antithesis of that. It’s got a janky interface, there are a bunch of themes that make it decent to look at but the UI is clearly an afterthought. It’s got some bugs and it’s mostly text based. There’s no astounding art here. But the gameplay is so thoroughly well designed that it makes up for that tenfold. Calling it an idle game is almost a disservice, it definitely can be played as an idle game if you just want to wait and click but the mechanics are so interactive that you can spend hours in the app micromanaging what your kittens are doing and reducing wait times to mere minutes. There are big difficulty spikes but they’re quickly followed by new mechanics to reach them, there are callbacks to your humble beginnings where you get to plow through early bottlenecks with your highly evolved manufacturing. Every single kitten has a name and skillset you can train and utilize. There’s industry, religion, education, space travel, politics, science, trade, and good old idle game building scaling. There’s a prestige system that lets you replay the whole thing with buffs from previous timelines and there are a ton of different approaches and styles (if scale out your population fast you get a ton of workers but you might get wrecked by overpopulation unhappiness, industrialize rapidly and you get all kinds of automation and upgrades but you might destroy your environment in the process). So yeah for 3 bucks this is probably the best idle game you can play and just one of the best mobile games in general. I’d love to see more of this kind of game, get the gameplay, design, and balance down perfectly and then build on top of that.
Background Game Best for busy people looking for an idle game in the background.

“I did enjoy it, but I’m going to be clear: the turn off pollution switch does nothing.”
“I think that aspect makes the progression feel more even, and gives the game staying power.”

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
“Unbelievably effective time killer.”
