It's a super cute sliding puzzle game; super chill, and has a nice story - even for someone who isn't spiritual. Takes about 3 hours to complete and the devs support cat charities. What more could you ask for?
Yes, this is a game you could easily go back to and play any time.
Pretty neat little game (even for someone like me, who doesn't believe in Zodiac signs' whole shtick).
More Feline AIDs in it than I expected coming in, but overshadowed by the adorable cat pictures included.
It's a very relaxing game with beautiful pictures and wonderful and heart-feeling stories hidden throughout it.
Definitely something for cat lovers and people who love puzzles. It's very lovingly made. Also quite nice to be able to activate a dark mode for the puzzle pictures.
Cute puzzles with two difficulty modes, day and night light modes also which is appreciated.
A couple bad typos here and there but the images are pretty in an interesting art style; the visual design overall is wondrous though the music is bland and yet... calming and meditative :)
The 2 extra puzzles (Cath+) that were recently added are actually good... they ask you to think in more abstract terms by not offering easy recognizable shapes but instead a well designed (and cut) symmetrical picture.
Great short game to kill an hour or two with a very positive tone
Zodiacats knows exactly what it wants to be and it succeeds at it. It is a simple puzzle game of swapping tiles to build pictures. That is it, and I knew that coming in. I am pleased to say that I 100% got what I asked for. I played this game just to relax and kind of occupy my mind, and it did that for me.
The music is a bit of an issue though it is a single song looped over and over again. It is not a bad song and is honestly quite relaxing. With that said though, it gets old after a while, an extra couple of tracks would have been beneficial. Beyond the music, the rest of the sound design is minimal and was not notable at all, though it did not need to be.
The art in this game is very well done. I am not a zodiac person, but the way that the cats are integrated into zodiac art is well done. Applying art to the gameplay, each puzzle has a pretty unique picture with enough simple and complex details to make good puzzle pieces. Colors are minimal in this game, but they are used well. Also, do the puzzles in their dark mode, they look better and are easier to deal with. In summary, I was really pleased with the art.
All-in-all I paid 2 dollars for a game I got 2 hours out of that had great art and occupying puzzles. I would call this a win all around. Oh yeah, and then there is the whole cats thing I always appreciate cats! And I am glad to see the whole cat-themed development team and the cat-themed games, that is really cool and I will likely be trying out another one of their games in the future. :)
Also a funny fact, horoscopes are not my thing, but it is interesting that when I did my cat horoscope I was told to get a tuxedo cat… You know… Like the cat I have. So I guess you could say that I finally got a spot on horoscope.
A nice collection of astrology-themed cat puzzles. You swap square tiles to complete the images. Every puzzle has a normal mode and a hard mode with more tiles. After completing each puzzle the game shows you a little info card for that star sign.
This game is simple but enjoyable. It took me 2,5 hours to do all the puzzles in both difficulties and for the price I feel that that's more than fair. If you want a relaxing puzzle game with a few extra touches than this is a good fit.
[I bought this game as part of the Devcats bundle and also loved A Building Full Of Cats and Sudocats.]
Purrfection. While the intro hints at a plot, this is really just an excuse to set you up with some hella chill new agey music and some simple (though potentially challenging) puzzles with cats and zodiac signs. Not long, but appropriately priced for it's length.
10/10 recommend for winding down or just for getting that extra cat content you need to get you through the day.
Very cute little puzzle game, no problems with it. Just hard enough to feel like a puzzle but not be frustrating, nice and relaxing.
Cute and cozy little game with amazing and relaxing puzzles. I would love to see other iterations of magic cats. Tarocats maybe?
Beautiful game. I bought "A building full of cats", and after finishing it, and reading about the developing team, i wanted to support them more, so i bought all the other games they had plus dlc. This game is so relaxing and it shows the love. Beautiful artwork, beautiful cats, and a beautiful message.
100% recomended.
I have recently bought and played a few games from Devcats, and I must say that I really feel how much love they put into their small relaxing titles. One of them is Zodiacats, where you can chill and solve puzzles from a magical papyri that a cute cat Catherine provided to you ^^
Features:
✦ Atmospheric astrology/cosmos aesthetics.
✦ 12 puzzles with charming cat pictures in zodiac theme, very pretty, detailed and organic. As kind of an artistic soul myself, I loved to look at them for some time after solving the puzzle.
✦ 2 additional puzzles featuring Catherine and her owner Witch wholesome story ^.^
✦ Soothing soundtrack that is not annoying and perfectly fits the game theme.
✦ After solving each puzzle you can read about certain zodiacat to learn more about yourself or your pet.
✦ Predictions mode, that, I believe, was made for awareness of adoption. Big thumbs up for the devs! Here you can listen to a prediction of what type of cat you should adopt and find out some of the real cats stories.
✦ Two difficulties — normal and hard. "Hard" just cuts image on more pieces, so you solve the puzzle for a bit longer — it's not annoying and definitely can't piss you off. For me personally it was enjoyable to solve puzzles again on hard mode after beating them on normal.
✦ Two color modes! I like how the devs cared about players, adding the dark mode in case you're playing at nighttime or without lights.
✦ Adorable cat assistant Catherine that gave me a magic papyri to bring peace and joy back on earth ^^ Honestly, i almost never skipped the intro, it's very beautiful and cute.
✦ The game is very cheap, and you get a wonderful content for this price. It's also included into the Devcats bundle, with which you can buy any of their other games with a discount, if you already have at least one.
In addition, I want to notice that this is a type of game that works perfectly if you want to relax, destress or etc. I struggle with mild depression and currently crave for this kind of games. Few hours I spent in Zodicats brought me a dose of joy, relaxation and happiness ♥
I definitely recommend this game. Give it a chance, It's worth your attention.
Thank you Devcats, I wish you a lot of luck in your upcoming projects (and i already wishlisted everything, lol!).♥
this is a very simple, yet delightful, jigsaw style game - the art is cute and i wouldnt mind buying the sound track - its rather short so two dollars is a good price for it - nine out of ten stolen cheese wheels
Such a cute chill game! Loved every second of it :3
please play very cute cat puzzle game. all pictures were super cute what a lovely game
Very cute, relaxing and full of cats game :3 love it!
Just a simple puzzle game with gorgeous art and a beautiful message. Honestly for this price, just go for it.
Such a cute and relaxing game, I loved playing it.
Beautifully illustrated game. Easy, simple puzzle game where you switch tiles. Only issue I ran into was when I was moving tiles too fast, which led to the tiles being awkwardly formatted, but only a minor inconvenience and nothing game breaking from my experience. A solid puzzle game with helpful and inspiring words for every puzzle.
Cute, zodiac-themed jigsaw puzzle game - with cats!
Absolutely in love with the art and how nice this is! It's super enjoyable and incredibly cute! and I thought the prediction for your perfect cat was a really cute and fun addition! I think the only problem is that when doing hard mode, it can be a little tricky knowing which ones are correct but just messing with similar tiles or looking at others screenshots really help a lot but usually isn't that much of a problem! :D
Relaxing puzzle game that isn't too difficult, I never thought too much about what type of cat I should adopt based on my zodiac sign and a cat's personality based on their zodiac. The more you know as they say, overall this game has a very serene atmosphere to it which I love.
Really pretty, cute and relaxing with a lovely message :)
Do you like puzzles? Do you like cats? If you answered "yes" to both questions, then you already know that this game is for you.
Beautiful, relaxing, and fun.
+ cats
+ beautiful art style
+ puzzles not too difficult that it will leave you stumped (im not a puzzle person but this kept me hooked)
- needs clues/hints
I adore this game. Perfect for when you want to switch off the outside world and relax. The artwork is beautiful, complete with a stunning dark mode option. If you enjoy solving jigsaw puzzles, I can't recommend this enough!
Since I bought the whole Devcats-Bundle I couldn't avoid playing Zodiacats after A Builing Full of Cats .
Zodiacats is a relatively simple, but still really great and lovingly made puzzle game and is perhaps primarily aimed at cat lovers or those who are interested in the topic of astrology.
But of course the game is also great for those who, like me, just like making puzzles.
Catherine, who is on the search for the lost astrology papyri, accompanies you through the game and helps you to discover the wheel of the zodiac and has some information ready for each zodiac sign and cat.
The game offers 12 puzzles and an additional 2 more, let's just call them bonus puzzles, which can be played on either "normal" or "hard" level.
The puzzles are more similar to a sliding puzzle, but with the difference that you don't slide the puzzle pieces, but exchange them for the other selected one by clicking (marking).
The only difference between "normal" and "hard" mode is that the puzzle is divided into 36 pieces in normal mode and 64 pieces in hard mode.
For each puzzle, the game offers the option to toggle night mode on and off on the right side of the screen.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2848915839
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2848915865
There is also a small glossary with further astrological information on the right-hand side.
On the left you have the option to bring up a menu that will take you back to the zodiac wheel, rearrange the puzzle pieces randomly, or return to the main menu.
In addition to the options, the main menu also offers the credits, the intro, a gallery and predictions.
In the gallery, which is unlocked after successfully solving at least one puzzle, you can look at the completed puzzles again and in the forecasts you can, if you want, take a look into the future.
The options are manageable and, in addition to the language, the music or the overall volume and the full screen or window mode can be set. There are no other setting options and are not necessary for the game.
The game offers a total of 18 achievements that are given by solving all 12+2 puzzles plus an additional one for normal and hard mode.
There are also two additional achievements for which you don't have to do much, but you can find that out on your own.
Should you not be able to solve a puzzle again, there is here a guide to all the pictures. But that shouldn’t actually be necessary, since the puzzles are not really difficult.
At the time of the review, the game is still marked with "Profile Features Limited" in the store, which means that the achievements and the game are not counted in the statistics in your library or profile.
Also, there are currently no trading cards for the game, if that is relevant to you.
Zodiacats is a definite recommendation if you like cats, are interested in astrology or just like to do puzzles of any kind.
MY PROS AND CONS:
✅ very nicely done
✅ relaxed gaming fun
✅ Light / Dark mode
✅ 2 levels of difficulty
✅ easy achievements
❌ absolutely nothing

This game is absolutely lovely. The overall aesthetic, music and images used for the puzzles are beautiful. For the price it's alright in terms of level. I'd love to have this game expanded or made another version or 2nd part with more puzzles. For example every zodiac sign could have 12 puzzles etc.
Not what the description of the game says it is.
Great puzzle game, easy and hard difficulty. Fun for all ages!
this game made me happy cry at 9am 10/10
Zodiacats is a charming jigsawesque puzzle game. There are a set of 12 puzzles (one for each of the zodiacal constellations), with a couple of bonus puzzles too. The puzzles can be played in either of two difficulty levels: easy or hard, although I did not find the hard mode particularly difficult. Still, the easy mode would be good for younger children. The illustrations are really nice, steeped with symbolism and elegantly arranged. They are also inter-consistent with each other... not just random pictures, like many other titles. It is clear a lot of thought and care went into the art design.
What I really appreciated was the day/night mode, so it is perfect for solving a puzzle late at night, when the sky is dark and the lights are dimmed. The choice of music is sublime. Even though it is the same track for each puzzle, it does not grow tiring at all. There are a number of little touches there and there (such as the gentle fading of the background and the glitter on the cursor), which make the game magical. There are also some predictions, together with some real-world cat stories, which are very nice. And there is a gallery, with a version of the completed puzzles to admire.
There are no time limits, so you can relax or ponder at leisure. There are Steam Achievements too, which are straightforward.
At first, I was a little sceptical about the story and animations; they seemed a bit kitch. But by the time I got to the end of it, I had warmed to it completely. I am usually very critical, bordering on scathing, when it comes to reviews, but this game touched my heart.
I have several Devcats games, all of which are good and full of charm, character and goodwill. But Zodiacats stands out from them all for its elegance and poetry. Thus I heartily recommend it.
Emotional. Serene. Beautiful.
Purrrrrrr...
Is this the hardest or most challenging puzzle game? No.
But it is simply so wonderfully relaxing, incredibly cute and heartwarmingly nice to you as a player, it never fails to help me cool down and feel cozy. Never did a game make me feel more appreciated as a player than this.
It's just wonderful, give it a try~
Also, kitties u.u
Super cute puzzle game mixing astrology and cats!
Make me wonder why we have only 12 zodiac. I need more cats!! I-I mean more zodiac to play.
The music and art is great very relaxing playing the game 10/10
I love you dev Lino, Giovani, Fofiño, Lily and boss Judy /ᐠ .ᆺ. ᐟ\ノ ♥
I wish to pet the Zodiacats 11/10
Sooooo relaxing! Highly recommend if you're stressed or anxious. Also, super cute!
Such a cute game! I love all the games these devs have put out so far! great chill game
Pretty fun and pretty pictures! Difficult on hard mode!
+ Pretty art
+ Dark/Light mode
+ Easy Achievements
- No hint mode if you're blind and can't see the difference in the floral patterns
What a wonderful little puzzle game. Devcats never disappoint!
Every piece of the game literally connects perfectly! I had an incredible experience playing this game. It is so much relaxing, has an awesome art and great soundtrack.
Nice jigsaw puzzle. I really like jigsaw puzzles and this one has a very beatiful soundtrack and arts.
You can complete the game before the refund marker if you are smart, but why would you?
The game isn't for me but I could see myself playing this game along side my child or if a child in the age between 6-10 is showing interest into zodiac signs, it's a cute little game and for around 2 bucks it's worth it even though it cost you a lootbox in any AAA Game.
A very relaxing game, it even cured my headache.
Beautiful game, super relaxing, excellent game.
highly recommended
10/10 paws. Super cute, fun, short, and the fact that it tries to raise awareness about cats, it's just wonderful!
The amount of details put in this game is amazing! There's voice acting, the soundtrack is SUPER relaxing and there's a little bit of trivia about every solar sign as well, including the flowers associated with them. Plus, the puzzles are super fun to pass the time.
10/10 meows
played while on a call with someone who loves puzzels. they hated my every movement because i was "putting them in the wrong places" smh my head
This game is indeed PURRFECT. I am only sad the hard level puzzles are the same but I loved that the team is a bunch of crazy cat ladies and lads like me.
Please make more games showing off your cats. I want to hug them all.
Lovely art, relaxing atmosphere. Now after finishing the normal game mode, I will definitely return to this game whenever I need to relax for a bit and tackle the hard mode!
This game is cute and the puzzles are actually a little challenging. I enjoyed it even though im not a cat person.
What a pretty kitty fun game! The music is relaxing, the puzzles are fun, and the cats are cute. It purrfect for a quick puzzle before going to bed or just to relax. This game has a good amount of content for the price and is soothing for anyone. My cats even like to watch me play as I move the puzzle pieces around. Cat and human approved!
This game is beautiful. The art in the puzzles is really something else. Not just aesthetically, but creatively. It's fun to see the picture come together and reveal the art. The music really set the mood for it. Recommended!
Very relaxing puzzle game hat's been helping me unwind after work. I like that the atmospheric music changes slightly as you complete more of the puzzle. Well worth the price.
Cute and relaxing puzzle game, perfect for unwinding.
its a very fun and challenging game. wish there was more to it, but also it does good with what it has. however many times i thought i finished a puzzle but hadn't because two nearly identical pieces needed to be switched. beyond that is good game
This game gather together all the elements to make me feel good: mysticism and cats. =D
My love for astrology & cats in a puzzle game?! Verrrry much recommended for a relaxing time & take all the cute kitty screenshots yassss ❤
A good but short puzzle game. No story for the game besides a little intro, 1 puzzle for the 12 zodiac sign that can be done on either normal or hard. If you think that's worth the price then I recommend it. Also the puzzles themselves look nice, currently using the Scorpio one as my Desktop background.
A neat, feline-themed shuffle puzzle game. Unlike quite a few other games I've tried where you can only switch adjacent pieces, the ability to swap any two tiles in Zodiacats made for a relatively quick game for myself.
This is a relaxing puzzle game with lovey meditative music.
Getting your fortune told recommends a cat type for you with a picture, the cat in the picture is an actual adopted cat with a cute description.
The game is easy enough on normal mode but hard mode does pose a legitimate challenge.
I also recommend if someone smugly plays a level and thinks they did it quicker than you, to use a stop watch and see how quick they are then lol
I'm a couple of levels off completing it fully but I'd definitely play it again sometime, it's so relaxing.
A nice "relaxing" puzzle'ish game. Kind of a sliding puzzle game, where you have to rearrange a jumbled up picture for all the zodiacs. Easy enough on Normal mode, getting more complex on hard.
This game isn't the most graphically intense. It isn't the most mindblowing. It's cat-centric zodiac puzzles. It's absolutely zen, and calming, and relaxing (and you find out neat astrology facts in the process!) and it's just... pleasant to unwind with this. By all means, for what little this game costs, it is INCREDIBLY worth picking up! You won't regret it.
A fun, pretty, inexpensive, and easy cat-themed puzzle game with 16 achievements. In order to get all the cheevs, you must play the game twice- once on Normal mode and once on Hard. Perfect game to play while doing other stuff.
Only issue I have with this game:
I hate replaying games, and I especially hate the replay-for-the-last-achievement(s) mechanic when there's really nothing or very little new in the replay. Lazy and disrespectful way of inflating playtime.
P.S.-
Stupid i dots. :P
Such an enjoyable and gorgeous little game ☆🐈
A calm/relaxing and little game with some cute cat/zodiac artworks. It is also rather inexpensive so what is there not to like :)
Beautifully illustrated picture puzzles. Nightmode comes highly recommended.
A lovely puzzle game for the puzzle enjoyer, cats and/or if you are into zodiac signs. I liked how you click on two pieces to switch them! Relaxing music and nice artwork.
I picked up this little gem of puzzle game because...well, cats mostly
I wish I had more time right now to continue playing it because it is the most relaxing thing I've played in such a long time! The music has me in a state of pure chill right now and it's bliss. If you need something to just focus your mind on, destress and, again, cats! This is for you. love love LOVE
Nice puzzle game with cute art and soothing sounds & 100% achievements.
Adorable little story and puzzles, beautiful art, actual info about the signs, cute cats in illustration and photos... and for such a low price! The illustrator(s?) is/are incredibly talented and I'm going to get the supporter pack when I can. I loved this so much.
Zodiacats
Pros of the game:
• Zodiacats is an adorably-beautiful little game, fit for players of all ages to enjoy. Upon starting, you join Catherine the Cat, and help in her quest to solve a series of astrology papyri puzzles her witch owner had created for each of the zodiac signs - giving a center focus on cats, themselves, and how they also have a share in astrology for their personalities and notable traits.
• The animation style for this game is full of beautiful, soft, colourful and warmly-vibrant illustrations which give such a lovely, harmonious and enjoyable image to playing through each section, along with an assorted picture gallery of adorable, real-life felines to appreciate.
• The accompanying music whilst playing through is peaceful, tranquil and soothing to relax to. It fits in perfect harmony to the theme and does not become irritable or grating on the nerves, as a handful of other games can become over time with their music.
• Each of the zodiac sign puzzles come with both a normal and hard difficulty mode - the harder of which simply divides the puzzle grid into more pieces to sort through and rearrange. So they are by all means able to be completed without a ridiculous, overly-complicated factor to worry about.
• For each of the puzzles you complete, Catherine will cheerfully appear and provide you with not only the information for the sign you've solved, but also some accompanying facts for how they reflect upon the nature of a cat born under them. Even if you are not an active follower of astrology, like myself; I found it to still be both enjoyable and enlightening.
• In addition to solving the papyri puzzles, there is also a 'predictions' section based upon your own zodiac sign (where you can also enjoy looking over each of the others), that shall give you a suggested pet adoption recommendation for which type of cat will fit the best and bond with you. If you are someone who does not have, and would like to consider having a furry friend as company - I definitely suggest looking over this section and all of the friendly, adorable cats featured.
• The options and features for the game are simple and trouble-free from complexity, giving you the straight-forward ability of choosing sound settings, along with both a windowed and full-screen resolution for your preference with playing.
• For those who are playing at night, or are susceptible to bright lighting, Zodiacats features both a normal and 'dark' mode, which helps change the default brightness of each puzzle to a much softer, dark theme to avoid any eye strain and to make out finer details with each of the papyri drawings more easily.
• For a game with such a small price on the store; I highly recommend buying this as a fun, lovely little game that can be easily enjoyed at any time you feel like something free of the demand of other genres. It's both a great puzzle game, itself, and a general mood lifter from the overall theme, along with easily having hours of fun and replay value to go back to at your leisure. The team behind creating it - Devcats - absolutely deserves credit for such a worthwhile project that offers a range of content above the majority of other games in the same price range (if not above it).
• The introduction scene once you launch the game, with meeting Catherine and learning the background story, is purely adorable. I cannot say otherwise.
• Catherine, herself, is such a fun, informative, and cute friend to play through the game with.
• If you are a cat-lover, or simply partial to cute, furry creatures in general - this game will definitely be a hit to invest in.
Cons of the game:
• Aside from the introduction scene, Catherine does not have any accompanying voice lines when giving her added commentary to each of the signs, when solved. I feel this would've been such a nice added touch, had she been able to audibly speak as well, with her voice actor doing a great and cute job. But it is by all regards still a brilliant game.
• I feel there was a missed opportunity with the second difficulty to make another puzzle for each of the signs, as both normal and hard share the same one, simply with more tiles to rearrange. For how much the game already contains, albeit, I cannot fault it with still offering a slightly different take of the same papyri art.
Personal feedback rating: 10 out of 10.
Very relaxing, cute little game. Virgo approved!
Really nice and relaxing puzzle game. The music is really nice and soothing.
I've really liked this puzzle! The pictures are aesthetically pleasing, I'm in love with them. Also it has a nice little bonus: there are recommendations on what cat you should adopt based on your sign
Very relaxing games & It's not hard to get 100% achievement for hunters.
Relaxing little puzzle game full of cute little cats - do I really need to say more?
A cute but simple game with very charming art and fun puzzles. Oh, and cats.
I am a both a cat and an astrology enthusiast, so I really enjoy this game. I just wish there were more puzzles to solve, but I understand there are only 12 zodiac signs. Maybe there could be an expansion where they add puzzles based on the tarot cards.
Cute, quick puzzle game that's worth every penny! If you like cats, astrology and puzzle games, this one is made for you!
It's so cute and beautiful puzzle game. The art has 2 modes, night and day. I was playing with night because contrast was better for actual jigsaw puzzles to figure out where some certain lines are. Celestial cats are so beautiful
