About this game

What players are saying

▲ Recommended 136 hrs
My friend jokingly sent me this game, saying "Play this Kimono RAT game, and gaze upon how horrid and unplayable this waste of $2 is". We're part of a club you see, the Game Hating Lutherans (Ohio Chapter). We decide on a terrible game once a month and meet to chat about it during Bible study. I decided to trust Bernice and purchase Kimono Cats, hoping to be met with something so despicable I could get hours of material for our meeting.

When I booted up the game though, I was met with something.... Else. They say beauty isn't something you can easily bottle and put in a cat themed video game, and yet that's exactly what HumaNature Studios did. With every dart I threw at the activity containing bubbles, I felt a rush of excitement and whimsy. With each heart my cat partner gained, I could feel myself falling in love with this game.... Dare I say... experience.

I found myself sinking any free time I could muster into improving my cats virtual relationship. I began to lose touch with what was real and what wasn't. My love for the game was beginning to morph into a genuine love for my virtual partner. Each time she received a lizard filled rice ball form me, I felt such great anguish that I would physically wince in pain. My family constantly knocked at the door and beged me to come and talk to them again, but I would sooner die than leave my love alone. Our village will soon be complete, and with it, a commitment to our love will be sealed in stone.

I went to the Game Hating Lutheran meeting last week, and I could see the excited look on Bernice's face as she waited to tear into this proverbial Mona Lisa of a game. One by one the monsters I once saw as friends jeered at the thing that meant the most to me in the world, and I just had to idly stand by and listen.

Finally though, it was my turn. I gave those SUBHUMAN FREAKS a piece of my mind.

"You disgusting little ingrates, you make me sick. This gift from God was given to us with nothing asked for in return, and you look into the face of true celestial glory, and do not gaze upon it. For shame, For shame. I don't care what you think of me, I had never tasted happiness until I played this game. My husband hasn't touched me in 15 years, my children don't respect me, and APPARENTLY my friends are all psychopaths. You know what....I'm done, keep your stupid little hate club. I can't spend another minute breathing the same air as you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥"

All in all, it was a great experience! A little slow paced at time, but that definitely doesn't take away too much from the overall experience.

As of addiction this game is at the top! Absolutely a must for completists! Unlocking every item will take a lot of time!!

Problems I’m having right now:
-devs have not patched or added content or even a timeline as of yet…I’m hoping this is not a quick money maker and they drop off leaving the game and it’s players to rot…please devs comment or at least add a few things it has been 4 months and no word….
-Post card collection is a MUST maybe allow people to add some stickers or a phrase and allow a board that you can add your post cards from your friends?? Something needs to be implemented there it feels like it just a quick idea with no purpose if all we can do is throw them away or keep them in the mailbox!
-add friend option without steam friends!! Maybe a code when you are online so you can have friends instead of visitors! It seems so impersonal! My friend is only my friend when online? And to play with others I have to add them to my steam friend list which is totally not my thing for people who don’t know me personally to have to add me to play in my Kimono Cats town??
-ROTATE OPTION PLEASE!🙏
I want to be as customizable with all my unlockables and I just cannot with no rotate!
-TURN off certain mini games?
Some are a blast but some show up so much more frequently and it gets repetitive at times which leads me to…
-More mini games?
-Fix algorithm of bubbles so it is more level!
-Please level out duplicates!! I’m getting so many of the same few things every box I open I hate opening boxes with hearts because I know it will be either a cat vase, a temple brick wall, a bench, balloon cart or vending machine which leads me too…
- OPTION TO SELL DUPLICATES!!
Please for the love of GOD everyone seems to be begging to be able to sell duplicates! There is so many of them it is just so overwhelming to see 50 of the same items just sitting dormant in the cabinet! Especially with so much content to unlock!!!
-LEVELS?! I’m terrified I’m going toto run out of levels and have barely anything unlocked! Please 🙏 add more…
-Event bubbles there is a lack of real events and I’d love to see some new ones so it doesn’t get old!
-A home?? Would be the best addition to be able to click on building or at least one you can make your home where your mailbox and sign in book are and it would add the ability for so much more content!! Maybe a DLC pack idea for future!!!!
- Last bit but please think of multilayer in the future where you can walk with a friend and pop bubbles together laugh and fight maybe play mini games against each other and an award for winner (cabinet in your home) to show off?!
This game has so much potential please don’t let it die!!

I only hope the devs read this!!

Devlog 4 – The surprising path to the Cat Festival

Well done travelers! We are at the point where you are about to start your Matsuri adventure! Can you hear the festival music around the corner? 🎶🎊 But before you join in the joyous fun, let us share one last story with you – a story about the not-so-obvious evolution of Kimono Cats. 🐱✨ Greg has been making indie games for over 40 years 🎮 – starting in 1983, with his first project (Starflight) released in 1986. Over the decades, he's realised that game development is rarely smooth, and not as fun as it seems. Creative disagreements, missed deadlines, publisher demands, or team-related issues – something always gets in the way...But Kimono Cats turned out to be the exception. 🌸From start to finish, the project ran unusually smoothly. The entire team – including their producer, Riley Lallo (another wonderful person), 💖 worked in perfect sync in short, fun 🎉, and productive meetings. They were self-funded for most of the development, which gave them the total creative freedom and when funding finally came from Apple Arcade, the team had the publisher's complete trust and made the game the way they wanted it. 🙌 ✨Kimono Cats was simply a rare kind of project – built with joy 💖, trust 🤝, and a dream team. 🌈With totally no mishaps to share. 😺Since then, the same team has been working on a new title called Dancing with Ghosts. Once again, the collaboration has been incredibly smooth. Unfortunately, as is often the case in indie development, funding remains a challenge and Greg has had to temporarily part ways with most of the team. Maintaining enough funding to keep teams afloat in today's gaming industry is a challenge.Hopefully, that will change soon. 🤞 Because when the right people come together, great things happen! Thank you for being with us on this unique journey through the world of Kimono Cats. 🐱In the meantime, we won't take up any more of your time – put on your festive kimonos 👘 and head out for a one-of-a-kind date at the Matsuri Festival! Have fun! 💖🎉
