Gameplay in this title is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the engaging summer events and attractive artwork, many criticize the slow pace, frequent energy depletion, and intrusive monetization tactics that hinder enjoyment. Despite some fun elements and the ability to earn boosters through regular play, bottlenecks and poor translation detract from the overall experience, leading to a perception of tedium and frustration. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, the gameplay often feels hampered by design choices that prioritize monetization over player experience.
- “Fun gameplay, you can actually sit down and play this merge game for so much longer than other merge games where you play for only 2 minutes and then wait hours for energy to recharge.”
- “The artwork is attractive and colorful, and it is possible to earn most of the boosters you need from regular gameplay.”
- “Good gameplay, rewards, and really fun.”
- “Slow gameplay, energy gets used up immediately past session 1, lots of waiting, constantly asks you to spend money, free energy only available in tiny timeslots that are incredibly easy to miss, and ads interrupt you randomly despite all the cash shop popups lying about being one-time only offers.”
- “It's boring and there's no gameplay without deep pockets.”
- “Gameplay comes to a crawl almost immediately - compared to similar merge puzzle games, this one is almost unplayable with multiple points of gameplay bottlenecks.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it whimsical and enjoyable, while others describe it as terrible and even menacing. Many users express a preference for the previous music, indicating that the recent changes have detracted from their overall experience.

- “The music is whimsical, the characters are fun, the gameplay itself is highly enjoyable, and I love how you have to navigate the item you're merging literally onto the part you're merging it to and not near it, because when games have it merge just by having the items near it, it causes stuff to accidentally prematurely merge.”
- “Excellent game, the graphics are beautiful, the music and each event and each level is wonderful. I played a lot and I did not find any errors with this game.”
- “Since the last update, I've had to turn off the sounds and music because it's mostly quiet, but there are times when I get something and it makes noise.”
