Part of Inbento's appeal is the strong cat theme, which matched with cute puzzles to solve, makes it a good fit for the Nintendo Switch. The desire to find out what happens to the cat characters is motivation when facing a tough puzzle that seems unsolvable. The limited number of moves is not as limiting as it sounds because there is no limit to how many times the puzzle can be attempted, nor are there time limits, making it easy to dip in and out.

Inbento is cute, has simple mechanics, and doesn’t require tedious amounts of hours to master it. There are over one hundred levels, and it has a low price point, meaning you’ll never have to worry that you didn't get enough for your money. Plus, those cutscenes make it so worthwhile to finish a level.

Simple but by no means empty, Inbento does not feature any major thrills or breathtaking ups and downs but it definitely provides a heart-filling experience, complete with kittens and a welcoming audiovisual environment.

according to how long to beat dot com this game should take 4 hours. I got this game for my gf and shes on world 10/14 with over 10 hours played. 9/10 times when shes asked for my help witha puzzle i solve it within 2 minutesWhat that means about her...well the game is really fun and the music is equally calming and annoying. I think this would be a great kids game to get them to problem solve but i can also see them getting stuck a decent bit depending on what age they are.Regardless this game was fun and highly recommend it and I wanna play more like theseAlso i find it funny that for the puzzles you may get stuck on the moment you understand what the first real move is the rest falls into place

The levels are fun and not repetitive at all, every 9 levels a new mechanic is introduced that keeps the game interesting. Most of the levels are challenging and actually make you think which makes for a great puzzle game :) The cat animations are very cute too ^-^ The only thing I would improve about this game is the music, it can get quite irritating listening to the same tune over and over. Most of the time I would just mute the game. Otherwise it’s a good bang for your buck and a puzzle game that’s worth picking up.

It's a very fun game! If you are into puzzle game, it's definitely worth your money. The esthetic is really minimalist and pleasing. You have about 7h of gameplay as well.

inbento is a sublimely sweet and thoroughly addictive puzzler that deserves a place in any puzzle fan’s collection, even if you’re a dog person at heart. You monster.

Inbento is a neatly packaged puzzler with enough challenge to keep you engaged and just enough charm to keep you sane.

Inbento is a nice, little and clever puzzle game that could easily steal some hours of your life if you like puzzles and cats.

Inbento is at the end of the day a snack and not a meal - it looks great and tastes lovely, but the bite-size levels and sparse runtime will leave you feeling still hungry. I don’t doubt that you’ll probably enjoy it once you get through the overly simple opening, but it’s not a memorable or important experience. Just a tasty morsel in-between something more substantial.

Making the perfect meal for a feline fellow may be a tricky endeavour but it's one that's impressively rewarding. Meow.
