Good little idle game, just wish it was classed as a program rather than a game so it won't inflate my Steam review later in the year.Show moreShow less

This game broke the 100% completion with insane, unachievable achievements. Dev, this is way, way too far. Just some time ago you deleted 5mil achievement, I thought you had common sense Also, making a poll on discord is not representative of opinions of your steam audience. You are essentially making a poll among top 1% that skew the perspective with biased opinions. Yeah, yeah, silly achievement hunters, silly people having fun their own way. But Having a game with insane achievements that you will never complete is not fun for anybody, right?Show moreShow less

Cute desktop companion that rewards you an item every 30 minutes for the price of 1000 keystrokes/mouse clicks. The monetization for this game comes from the steam marketplace like some other free to play games but requires absolutely no participation. Just a cute little guy sat there giving the bottom of my monitor a little tap lol. SIDE NOTE I've seen a lot of people complain about this game being malware/uploading your keystrokes but after looking at everything through ILSpy, there really is just a counter for each keystroke and that's as far as it goes. There's nothing at all to worry about.Show moreShow less

When something is free, you are often the product. While it is a cute way to stay connected with friends; I can not trust it. As someone mentioned in the discussions, the game uploads data to multiple random IPs in short bursts. The 'who' and 'why' is unknown. You can check while in a lobby with a friend or if you are hosting a lobby. Open Resource Monitor and select Bongocat's exe and filter network traffic. Only IPs that make sense are Valve's IPs for checking game status along with the IP of your friend(s) in your current lobby, but there are 5+ other random IPs that you are sending data to, on top of them. Since images (of proof) are not allowed, here is a link instead. https://postimg.cc/fkZZHSYz Love the idea but cant trust itShow moreShow less

Bongo Cat is a harmless meme game until it isn’t. thinking I’d click a bit and move on, but somehow I blinked and suddenly my life goal became reaching 1,000,000 Bongo Cats. This achievement is not just a number, it’s a personal journey of growth, suffering, and acceptance. my keyboard accepted its fate, and I began to understand what true dedication looks like. There is no story, no combat, and no real challenge, yet the psychological grind is unmatched and the sense of accomplishment when the counter finally rolls over to one million is unreal. By the time I reached it, I wasn’t playing Bongo Cat anymore, I had become Bongo Cat, a higher being forged by endless bongos and questionable life choices. 10/10 experience, would sacrifice my sanity again.Show moreShow less

Genuinely ♥♥♥♥ this game I only downloaded it because 1 million as the final achievement didn't seem too bad, them adding the 5 million was enough for me to already dislike this game, and i was thankful they went back on that But then they go back on it again and add 25 million, yeah no, I'm done with this "game", these achievements are just to squeeze playtime out of people who downloaded this back when 1 mil was the max, scummy behaviourShow moreShow less

The game is cute but honestly can't understand any dev these days trying to force a multiplayer mode on a game that doesn't need it. It's an IDLE GAME, it just sits on my desktop. Why are their achievements for being in a lobby with x amount of players? I didn't get it to be social, I got it to be idle and run in the background. Really annoyed by this newly added requirement to 100% the game.Show moreShow less

Bongo Cat Typing is the only game where I write emails 40% slower but 300% happier. Every typo is forgiven by a tiny cat who believes in me more than my manager ever has. 10/10, productivity has never been this adorable.Show moreShow less

As a completionist, I am extremely disappointed with the achievements added in the new update. It took months to complete a 1 mln achievement, and now a 25 mln is added? This is unobtainable without an autoclicker scamming. Also, to people saying completionists' opinions are not valid, I guess the only way to have fun with a game is your way, right? I cherry pick games I can 100% complete, because this is exciting to me. This is how I like playing games.Show moreShow less
