Cats Visiting Cozy Art Studios

[i]Cats Visiting Cozy Art Studios[/i] is a wholesome cute seek-and-find adventure about finding hidden kitties in various art studios. Settings include; audio controls, language, vibration on or off and reset game option. If you wish to put your game into windowed mode, put [i]-screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080[/i] (or a resolution of your choice) under properties in the games Steam library page under launch options and relaunch the game. [u]Pros[/u] * Good zoom range * Hints that recharge every 30 seconds * Multiple maps (5 in total) * All maps have coloured backgrounds (much easier on the eyes) * Cats are coloured in as they are found (some have cute poses) * I really like the soundtrack, upbeat playful melodies * You can hide the hud elements like the cat counter so it is not obstructing your view [u]Cons[/u] * The tutorial. You cannot turn it off and if you don’t complete it beyond level 1 it follows you in other levels until you finish it by using a hint. And there are achievements for finishing each level without using a hint, so kind of counter-productive. Just let us turn off the tutorial if we don’t need it.

On occasion I share my experiences with the groups I write for to help bring attention to games I’ve personally purchased and wish to give more exposure too.

It is an alright HOG with 5 levels and some cute cats we need to find. Nothing we have not seen before but I would like to highlight two annoying things: there is a mandatory tutorial at the beginning which cannot be skipped. There is an achievement requiring you to complete each level without using the hint function - the tutorial makes it mandatory, however, to use this feature. It's fine to redo a level but first you have to reset it. You will realise later that the reset option is for all 5 levels. Additionally, there is one achievement wanting you to complete a level in 3 minutes. It can be pretty annoying. Well, if you are not an achievement hunter then you will probably not worry about the above-mentioned. It is a relaxing HOG, after all, so feel free to pick it up if you have nothing else to complete.

Cute game like most but. whoever designed that mini tutorial, what the actual fluff?? You are forced to do it anytime you reset AND if you don't do every step it blocks the bottom of the image. So you put a non skippable tutorial that forces you to click the hint button in the same game where you get achievements for NOT USING THE HINT. Yes I know you can just do it on another level then go back but it shouldn't be that complicated. It should just be skippable.
