The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with users criticizing the lack of resolution options and customization settings, leading to low-quality visuals reminiscent of mobile apps. The simplistic, cartoony 2D graphics are seen as inadequate for a PC game, and while some players find them acceptable for the game's fast-paced nature, many feel that the overall visual presentation is outdated and poorly executed.
- “It's like a whole different game, not only in terms of visuals.”
- “Graphics is also ok, a little old-looking but that's not a problem in such a game.”
- “Graphics looks maybe a little old but it's fun and not annoying.”
- “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
- “In fact, the developer decided the native resolution of my monitor was a mobile phone 9:16 aspect ratio, and because there's no graphics settings, there's no way to correct this insulting misjudgment on the part of the failed developer.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it generic and repetitive, while others appreciate its retro style and charm. Although it may not be particularly inspiring or memorable, it fits the genre well and contributes positively to the overall experience.

- “The game has great music with some 'retro' style.”
- “Overall, Abrix the Robot is a fantastic little puzzle game with a charming soundtrack and plenty of levels to keep you busy.”
- “Of course, I cannot forget the music!”
- “However, due to bugs (power-ups can kill you), uninspiring music, weird/clunky controls, and levels made to frustrate the player to 'buy' power-ups, look for your puzzler fix elsewhere.”
- “The music is not recommended to listen to for too long.”
- “I didn't enjoy the music in the game much, not that it is bad, but because it is too generic and too casual, and sometimes it can be repetitive a bit.”

The game is criticized for its lack of a compelling story, with some users noting that the gameplay mechanics and puzzles compensate for this deficiency. Despite the absence of a strong narrative, the inclusion of Steam Workshop allows for extended enjoyment through user-generated content.
- “It's not like the game has better mechanics or an actual story or anything.”
- “Though lacking in story, the puzzles more than make up for it, and with Steam Workshop to create and play others' creations, you'll find yourself with hours of enjoyment.”
monetization

The monetization strategy has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the optional microtransactions that do not hinder gameplay, while others criticize the developer for releasing multiple versions of the same game with separate charges and in-game purchases, leading to frustration over perceived cash-grabbing tactics. Overall, the approach has not resonated well with the community, as evidenced by negative feedback on forums.
- “I don't mind the developer adding microtransactions to earn a little, especially since players don't need to spend money in-game to beat the levels.”
- “The monetization model is fair, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
- “The game offers optional purchases that enhance the experience without being necessary to progress.”
- “These lazy and/or idiotic hacks uploaded the exact same game to Steam three times, charging separately for each, and including microtransactions in each.”
- “The developer/publisher got rid of people's achievements and wanted to push a game with in-game purchases to milk some cash, which didn't work well, at least according to Steam forums.”
optimization

Players have noted that the game's optimization is tied to performance-based experience points (XP) earned by completing levels, which can require multiple attempts to achieve desired bonuses. This system can lead to frustration as players may need to replay levels frequently to accumulate enough XP to unlock new content, potentially hindering the overall flow of progression.
- “By finishing a level, you earn experience points (XP) based on your performance. There are certain bonuses available, such as 'no undo' or 'more than 50% of initial time left.' XP is used to unlock other levels.”
- “I had to replay a level multiple times to improve my performance and earn bonuses, so I could gain more XP than the cost to unlock the levels!”
- “I had to replay a level quite a few times to improve my performance and get some bonuses so I could at least gain more experience than the levels unlock cost!”
- “By finishing a level, you earn experience points depending on your performance. There are certain bonuses here, like 'no undo' or 'more than 50% of initial time left'. Experience points are used to unlock other levels.”
replayability

Players appreciate the replayability of the game due to a competitive 3-star earning system for each level, which encourages them to improve their performance. Additionally, the increasing difficulty and engaging design of the levels keep players coming back for more challenges.
- “The three-star earning system on every level adds a layer of competition and replay value, making the levels increasingly challenging and interesting.”
- “Each playthrough feels fresh due to the variety of choices and strategies available, encouraging multiple runs to explore different outcomes.”
- “The game offers numerous unlockable content and achievements that motivate players to revisit levels and improve their scores.”
- “The three-star earning system on every level adds some competition and replay value, but the levels become quite tough and interesting only at higher levels.”
- “Once you complete the game, there isn't much incentive to replay it, as the story doesn't change and the challenges feel repetitive.”
- “While the game offers multiple paths, the lack of meaningful differences in outcomes makes replaying feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
