Cat Mall: Idle Shopping Tycoon

The game is super fun like the title suggests, and it's a nice "idle" type game. Worth 5 stars for the aesthetic and art. My only problem that would usually lower the score is that when I have this game open or in a different tab, my phone (iPhone 13) heats up really fast and drains my battery like nobody's business. I played for maybe 10 minutes and in that time my phone went down more than 10%. I have fun while playing this, it brings me joy, I just wish it didn't turn my phone into a space heater or drain my battery.

The game about a cat building and managing a mall is an absolute delight, blending creativity, strategy, and feline charm into one irresistible package. As the cat protagonist, players are tasked with designing and running a mall, from choosing stores and decorations to managing resources and keeping customers happy. The game’s whimsical art style and lighthearted humor make it incredibly enjoyable, while the mechanics of mall-building allow for plenty of customization and fun decision-making. What truly sets the game apart, though, is the adorable cat character who serves as both the mascot and your guide, bringing an extra layer of cuteness and personality to the experience. Whether you’re optimizing shop layouts or hosting special events, the game strikes the perfect balance between relaxation and challenge, making it a purrfect escape for cat lovers and casual gamers alike.

The purchasable features are kinda dumb in a sense. Why do I need to PAY to get gems I already saved from upgrading the items in the store? Or like why do I need to pay to continue on ALL the events even though they literally have free features after the paid ones..like yeah it’s cheap but there’s so many..like cmon like I just want to play the events and get gems so I can actually upgrade stuff for the customers within the game. Also the customers complain A LOT about this 50 gem painting which makes the game even more frustrating because you need the gems but it’s pay to win (in a sense). But if the game makers would make like that stuff redeemable with adds that’s better and have less stuff you have to pay for with real money..But otherwise it’s pretty fun you can earn money within the game quickly enough to keep up with customers wants and needs (for the most part) and it’s like every other tycoon type game out there and the variety of stores you can have are kinda like infinite.
