Awesome except for Armageddon bug

So fun and surprising amount of strategy but please fix the Armageddon bug!

Can’t stop playing

See the title

cool like a cool

suler cool 😎

Great but…

This game is awesome but when you’re playing with the main deck… that’s where things get confusing. I have the original exploding kittens game in real life and there weren’t cards like slap or double slap and even reverse! For example: you think the card that is on the top of the draw deck is a exploding kitten so you slap the other player? That doesn’t make any sense!

Online

From kid FYI I think this game so much fun to play but when I did online mode it took like 15 minutes

Fun game to play with friends

I got this because a friend suggested it and it’s a pretty entertaining game

IAP despite premium purchase

Why must I make further in app purchases despite paying for the game itself?

Weird bug with iPad

Sometimes, when I open up the game, it bugs out and makes it so I can’t use the expansion decks. It also glitches out the avatar selection and removes all of the purchasable avatars except for the god one, which is now called Mike. Exiting and Reentering it causes Blue to duplicate each time. Mike is also unable to be selected, and just plays the sounds. Restoring purchase also doesn’t work properly.

Why can’t you play bought games

I love this game, play it all the time when I have down time. I have bought every game mode. Why is it that I can not play them if I don’t have service?? I play myself against the bot and it doesn’t allow me to play anything but the original version. Make the other game modes downloadable!!!!

Ok but

Great game but needs pass and play

Codes Don’t Work

The friend code things doesn’t work. I was excited to play with my boyfriend but now we can’t. Very unfortunate.

So much cheating

There’s so much cheating in the barking kittens pack it’s no longer fun to play. Not sure why the developers are not fixing this problem. Also the app glitches a lot and will shut down randomly and especially when I’m close to winning! But the game is fun and addictive .

One complaint

Really good game, very similar to the card game. Only one recommendation: two player one the same phone

Feedback - fix purchases

The game works but I cannot purchase new decks. It doesn’t allow any options to do so.

It is one if the best mobile game's :D

It is the best 👍💯

Hi

Very fun every now and then it closes the game for now reason/ the game crashes

Fun, but needs fixes

There is a glitch in the barking kittens expansion that allows players to cheat. It’s not fun to play anymore.

Where are the stats?! Why cant we trade cards in to draw from the pile or steal cards ?

Good game. Missed opportunities. EVERY game has stats to look at and compare with friends. Please add win/loss at least. Get creative! Also, please add the trade cat cards in for a steal and trade 5 cards in for a draw out of the discard pile. Big miss there. Maybe make the “leave game” button accessible after a loss so we can actually leave the game. Overall it’s missing a lot of the original game but for the price, cant miss this one

Game needs an update

The Netflix version has updated UI as well as background music. This version doesn’t even scale properly to fullscreen :/

Good game but

Fun game. But when you click to buy a card pack, nothing happens.

Change single player mode name

It’s a great game, but change the name of single player mode! I don’t want to click “Play with yourself” to play solo

Meh

Love this game but needs quite a few fixes…

Good app, one bug

Great game! Caught one bug where, if you make a private game public, you must wait in the room indefinitely until someone joins (or leaves and rejoins)

Missing code box

I paid for the game because I thought it might be fun to play in some down time and because I had a code for some neato in game content. Unfortunately it appears that the place to type in the codes for this neato content has been removed. Not sure how I feel about spending money on a game partly due to a content offer that isn’t even usable.

Awesome but degrading

I have played this game a lot for about 2 years and love it. However, there are some bugs: not getting connected, getting disconnected and what appears to be cheating. Most annoyingly, the entire app has been increasingly crashing in the last month.

Good game!

Good game but it features the packs but you have to pay for it but otherwise a really good game

Game cheats

This is overall a fun game. However, there have been multiple times the games cheats in the single player, medium or hard mode. The cheat is when there is an exploding kitten and the game itself refuses to take its move and draw the exploding kitten. The game will continuously have the opponent play until the opponent draws the exploding kitten.

Great game!

This is a very great game! I love to play it! But i have some suggestions. 1. Add the imploding kittens expansion, it’s the only real life expansion that isn’t in the game. I know most cards in the expansion are already in the game but you could add some new ones. 2. Make it so you can use the KITT-E and clawborg 3000 backgrounds in public games, maybe some new ones as well. 3. You for some reason can’t play a bury card when you have an i’ll take that effect on you. I’m assuming this is a bug.

Super fun

Super fun game irl, and just as fun online

Honestly better than Uno

I got this game 2 weeks ago, been playing it almost every day lol. I love it all, its the best and only cat card game you’ll find out there and is truly unique is offers a fair experience for players that don’t want to buy card packs. Since i’ve loved this game for a while now i might buy some stuff. I like it better than Uno, don’t even play uno a lot anymore lol. Good job developers, like too see more :))

Good game

What would make it better is to have it be possible to be sorted into a type of game at random. It’s hard to get a group together for the less popular decks

Yes!

I love the card game, and the app. This is sooo good. I love it.

Hi

It is not that fun but I like it so keep it up

Add more pls

I wish you could see how many games someone has won (shown on their profile). or have incentives or collectibles you get from winning a lot

Great game but

I love this game because the action is pretty cool. Now there is a problem with the other pack not the core pack, You see when I try to buy it it doesn’t let my buy it and it just there

Love it.

Would be 5 stars if it had family in app purchase sharing.

I love this game

I love this game but it would be so much better if you could use multiple expansion packs at once

Slow to leave & load

I like the game, I like the concept, even like that it frustrates me, but nothing worse than waiting…. for some little screen to stop flashing & close so I can play the next game-FIX PLEASE

I love this game

I love this game but it would be so much better if you could use multiple expansion packs at once

Shuffle

I don’t think the shuffle card actually shuffles anything since I’d get a 100% chance everytime in drawing an exploding kitten card when playing by self.

Used To Be Fun

It used to be that I’d be able to invite my girlfriend to play with me in Public Servers, but that’s no longer an option :/ We have to kind of queue up at the same time and hope we can play together in a public match :(

WASTE OF FREAKING MONEY

this game is a waste of money bc i bought the party pack and theirs no one plying that mode

Never play, the inferior version

There is a much much better sequel and there is no storyline so it will still all make sense, don’t download this, download exploding kittens 2.

$5 to pay for a bunch of microtransactions

Unbelievable I paid 5 dollars just to get 1 deck and a bunch of options to spend more money. I will be asking for a refund.

Fun but Glitchy

While I really enjoy this game and believe $1.99 to be a great one-time price, I don’t get to play it nearly as often as I’d like due to the “Welcome Message” not going away despite me clicking the “X” in its corner. Waste of time.
