Note: A wonderful friend gifted me a copy of this game. ^^
100 hidden Cats: Ninja is a cozy, cute, hidden object game developed and published by Sons of Welder. This time, your objective is to find a set number of ninja cats (yes, that's right XD) and weapons in a feudal Japanese village. There's just one scene, but like the other games by this developer, it has the usual mechanics. You use the left mouse button to click on a cat or weapon, and you can zoom in and out of the scene with the mouse wheel. Counters for cats and weapons are shown on top of the game screen, and if you get stuck finding a cat, you can use the hint function (in the form of a magnifying glass) to show you where that cat is hiding. The hint function needs a little time to recharge after you use it, but you can use it an infinite number of times. However, it won't indicate any missing weapons. Steam achievements are present, but they won't count towards a user's global total until the game is out of "Steam is learning about this game".
It feels good to go back to these cat-themed hidden object games, and I must admit that I almost missed out on this game's release. Thankfully, a friend informed me about this game, and another friend sent me a copy. As I wanted to try it out right away, here we are. XD
These cats have been pretty much everywhere, but I never thought that they'd be in feudal Japan and disguised as ninjas. :o Anyway, the gameplay is simple but fun, as expected from games by this developer. The cats are pretty easy to find, especially with the use of the zoom and hint functions. Weapons are fairly easy to find, too, although slightly more difficult since you can't use the hint function to find missing weapons. Since there's only one difficulty level, the game can feel almost too easy for those who are familiar with HOGs. I don't personally consider it to be a negative since it can feel relaxing to play a HOG that's on the easy side. At any rate, all Steam achievements unlocked for me without any problems, and I didn't encounter any technical issues. A major criticism I'd make is that you can only play in full-screen mode since it would be nice to have the option to play in windowed mode as well.
With the art, the style is lovely, with it being hand-drawn and all. The background and sprites are drawn well, and I like how the cats would be colored in a sweet orange after finding them.

As for the music, only a couple of tracks are present, one in the main menu screen and the other in the game's background. Still, the tracks give off that vibe that you're in feudal Japan and are perfect as you're looking for all those ninja kitties and those dangerous weapons. I like how a cute meowing effect would go off after I found a cat, which has probably become a common feature in these cat-themed games by now.
Would I recommend 100 hidden Cats: Ninja? If you're looking for a short and easy but fun, cat-themed hidden object game and/or you want easily obtainable Steam achievements, it's worth taking a look. For the asking price, it's pretty affordable for the amount of gameplay. It took me a little over five minutes to find all of the cats and weapons and earn all the achievements, but gameplay time may vary slightly for others. If you're a fan of games by Sons of Welder especially, this is another fun game. ^^
The cats are at it again. XD
