Nekograms in IOS

An adorable cat puzzle game!

83/100

Nekograms is a delight for both cat lovers and puzzle enthusiasts. It’s a 'box-pushing' style puzzle game with a charming twist: instead of moving crates, you're trying to move cats onto their cozy mats. The art style is incredibly cute, with soft colors and endearing cat animations that make even the trickiest levels feel relaxing rather than frustrating. It starts off deceptively simple, but don't let the cuteness fool you—the difficulty definitely ramps up.

As you progress through different 'worlds', new mechanics are introduced that require you to think several steps ahead. It’s a perfect 'coffee break' game; you can pick it up for a few minutes and solve a couple of puzzles, but the desire to see every cat comfortably sleeping will keep you playing for longer. The theme is consistent and well-executed, making it one of the more unique and heartwarming spatial puzzles available right now. If you enjoyed games like Sokoban but wanted something with significantly more feline charm, Nekograms is a must-download.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. Look, I’m a man of a certain age, and while I don’t usually go for games that look like they were designed for a nursery, Nekograms is functionally competent. It’s a simple spatial puzzle game. You move cats, they get to sleep. It’s not breaking any new ground in the logic department, but it’s a clean experience. No clutter, no nonsense.

My main gripe? It’s too easy for far too long. If you've played any sliding block puzzle in the last thirty years, you’ll breeze through the first fifty levels without using a single brain cell. It’s 'cozy,' sure, but sometimes that’s just code for 'lacks challenge.' It’s fine for a commute, but it won’t hold the attention of a serious puzzle enthusiast for long. It’s cute, but thin.
