\"\"<\/a>Join a pair of cats as they walk through a traditional summer Japanese festival.\u00a0 Play mini-games, earn prizes, and collect furniture and items you can use to decorate your own village. Kimono Cats is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

On the main screen of the game, you\u2019ll see the cats as they walk through the festival.\u00a0 There are bubbles at the top of the screen with icons in them, and you move around a dart below and can press a button to throw and try to pop a bubble.\u00a0 If the icon in the bubble represents a mini-game, you\u2019ll play one usually based on some type of Japanese festival activity.\u00a0 Try and catch as many fish as you can with a paper net.\u00a0 Play a simple Taiko drum rhythm game.\u00a0 Memory match patterns on fans.\u00a0 And much more.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, your cat companion will ask for a certain thing.\u00a0 If you can pop the bubble with that icon in it, you can earn extra points.\u00a0 Just be careful not to pop something bad or gross or you might lose points.\u00a0 Points you earn by giving gifts and playing mini-games fills up a meter that nets you presents.\u00a0 These presents can be furniture, buildings, and other items you can use to decorate your own little village.\u00a0 People on your Switch Friends list who have the game can visit your village and you can see theirs, too.<\/p>\n

You have a limited amount of darts you can use to pop bubbles, but I never really had much of a problem with running out.\u00a0 It\u2019s so easy to get more darts by popping bubbles, using a metal detector in your village, and winning them.\u00a0 Plus you get more darts daily.\u00a0 You can also earn two different types of currency. One lets you buy furniture and items in a shop.\u00a0 And the other one will fill a meter and when it\u2019s full, you can move onto the next level, which is a new town with a festival.\u00a0 New levels add new mini-games and other bubble icons to pop.\u00a0 Aside from the game being a little bit too simple and repetitive, I found Kimono Cats rather fun and addicting.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kimono Cats is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Crude Humor.\u00a0 One of the \u2018bad\u2019 bubbles you can pop has a brown swirl poop icon in it.\u00a0 And if you give your cat companion gross food, they will sometimes do a barfing animation.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 The game might even be considered educational as it shows activities from another culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
