As vicious as the tabletop version
Mon Sep 05 2022 CarterBlueNot enough time given to counter when attacked. Very difficult to bury the Exploding Kitten card. Accidentally minimized the app when trying to play cards several times. Feels a bit too random sometimes due to the fact that you’re playing against avatars and you don’t get a chance to know the other players.
I enjoy playing this game with my gaming group and the charm of card games is the randomness, but this version takes random to another level. I would play this version as a way to pass the time. It’s missing the interactive nature of the game and there isn’t any real strategy in this version…just put the Exploding Kitten back on top and wait.
Overall, this isn’t bad, it just has some room to grow.
Good Game💣🐈
Mon Jan 23 2023 Time4SummerAfter playing enough games to be able to hold my own and go back and forth with the computer in the “play with yourself” mode, I’ve noticed an annoying inconsistency.
If you pull an exploding kitten card and you have a diffuse card, your supposed to be able to put the exploding kitten anywhere in the deck. This includes ontop. In game flow, the next person would proceed. The first persons turn was over when they drew a card- happened to be an exploding kitten.
On more than one occasion I’ve had the game tell me I still had to draw a card after diffusing.
Boot option
Fri Jan 20 2023 Goldendoodle99I love this game and I think the game is well made. Here are the 3 things that would make it better: 1. A boot option - having the option to kick people from the game after it times them out and they haven’t played because I’ve had to just leave in the middle of a game because one person doesn’t take there turn and it makes me wait 2. A mixture of random and friends - I would love the ability to play with friends but also have random people join as well so we can have a larger game 3. Time limit for nope - there isn’t enough time to put the Nope on top of someone’s attack so I end up stuck with their move sometimes because it’s so fast
Very buggy and frustrating
Mon Aug 08 2022 trailstriderThere are so many bugs in this version of the game it’s barely worth playing. Every time you try and play, there is a chance that the game itself is an exploding kitten and the bugs cause a misplay. Issues:
1- not saving status for profiles that are not the profile of the account holder -> can’t play the medium and hard levels with self
2- game play with strangers will sometimes automatically draw a card for you even if you were going to play a card instead.
3- game play with strangers will sometimes automatically play a card for you even if you wanted to draw or play a different card
4- the cats arm telling you it’s time to play will sometimes start coming down as soon as your turn starts
5- the see the future card has occasionally lied about the position of cards
6- have tried playing the nope card when another player tries to steal a card and it doesn’t let me - and will often automatically play another card or draw for me instead if it is my turn next.
7- recently a game with strangers started where one player had 0 cards and the clipboard was missing
Love this game, but a few questions
Sat Oct 22 2022 sam-man-dudeI love this game a lot, it’s a great way to pass time, although I have a few questions. For some reason, I always win the game. Idk if this is bots, or no. I would like real players if these are bots bc winning every time gets boring. Another question I have is are there any more customizations? Bc I would more customization options. I would also like if people could type there own messages instead of the other chat, not voice chat though. Please respond soon!
Automatic unnecessary card play
Tue Nov 22 2022 thiiiiiiiriiiIt has done this several times. The app automatically plays cards while I’m busy thinking and it’s not even after 5 seconds have elapsed. It usually plays the Attack cards or draws a card (sometimes the Bomb) from the pile w/o waiting for me to drag the card myself or play an action. It played two rounds on its own in one game! Please fix this this is so excruciatingly frustrating. This problem is prevalent as I found this on Reddit. Sm said it’s bcuz there are no other actions but that not true as another reviewer wrote: No, thats not it. Often I want to perform an action but instead it quickly draws one. At other times it even performs an action such as putting cards that i didnt want to
Some Easy to Fix Issues
Thu Jun 16 2022 PorphyThe game is addictive and fun, but there are some issues that would bump it up to the best level.
It should be as easy to place the Exploding Kitten on the bottom of the deck as it is to place it on the top. It isn’t easy or even possible if there are a lot of cards on the deck.
A turn timer should be in effect. A minute to minute and a half is MORE than enough time for someone to take their turn. As it stands a person can hold the table hostage when putting the Exploding Kitten back in the deck. Sometimes this is because of a bug and the player is frozen on that screen, other times it’s because they AFK from the game and everyone is stuck.
Finally and most importantly, There should be few extra seconds given to the table for NOPEs to be played. As it stands if someone moves fast enough they can dodge a NOPE card by sheer lag difference between players. Not cool.
Game is extremely buggy, almost unplayable
Mon Mar 27 2023 emjayess32578268945So many bugs in the game it makes it unplayable. I'd say one in four games it gets stuck on a user who DC'd—there's supposed to be a time limit on each turn but for some reason that doesn't happen and it just freezes on one user and never goes to the next player (always seems to happen when I have a great hand too). On top of that, sometimes it auto draws a card or even auto plays one of your cards without giving you a chance to play something else (even when you had other playable cards). These are fundamental bugs that completely ruin the game, though would be a great game if they were fixed.
A lot of fun!
Sun Jul 10 2022 Pattya610A lot of fun but has some bugs. For example, the sound will stop playing after a couple of games and you have to uninstall and then reinstall through Netflix to fix it. It would also be great if you could kick a player off who isn’t taking their turn, otherwise they hold up the entire game for everyone. But overall really great! =)
Unnecessarily slow and clunky
Sun Jun 12 2022 Nanners_82I find the animation sequences slow down game play and create a lag. I’ve experienced the computer taking my turn for me because the previous play blew up and the screen announcing how many cards are left and then the animated cat waving flags to announce my turn take up all my time. Additionally, it seems like the lobby is very hit or miss. Sometimes I get placed as soon as I enter, other times I’m there for over 60 seconds despite the lobby being filled with potential players. I do like the new radar and flip flop cards though, but not enough to make up for the frustration of watching the computer waste my cards
