The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the cute, cartoonish art style and smooth animations, while others criticize the 3D aesthetic as unappealing and reminiscent of clip-art. Although the graphics are generally described as charming and fitting for the game's theme, issues such as lack of widescreen support and inconsistent lighting detract from the overall experience for some users. Overall, the visuals are well-crafted but polarizing, with a blend of positive and negative feedback.

- “I love the cute animation, voice acting and graphic style, and overall it gave me a very pleasant experience.”

The music in the game is generally described as average, with some players finding it pleasant while others prefer to mute it in favor of their own playlists. While it features some catchy tunes, there are mentions of repetitive tracks that can become annoying over time. Overall, the music contributes to the game's atmosphere but is not a standout feature.
- “The game is a mixture of Dinner Dash with Candy Crush, but not only does the game have a time management aspect, it also forces you to think strategically by placing certain customers at specific tables for a bonus, as well as playing music to make them happy, reading stories to those waiting, and more!”
- “Pleasing music, a little problem solving, and simply a solid game.”
- “Music and game sounds are what you'd expect; I muted the music and listened/watched stuff on my second monitor.”
- “A fun little game with a nice blend of 2D and 3D art, nothing outstanding, but aside from some repetitive pipe music that can get stuck in your head for the rest of the day.”
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

The gameplay is characterized by a chaotic and fast-paced style that some players find stressful, while others appreciate the well-executed clicking mechanics reminiscent of diner dash games. Although it may not meet the quality of other genres, it is generally considered simple and stable, offering decent enjoyment despite occasional speediness.
- “Still, the clicking action of the Diner Dash-type gameplay is well done, and the engine is stable and not unpleasant.”
- “It can be a little too fast sometimes, but otherwise it's a simple enough game, with nice, decent gameplay.”
- “However, I'm guessing it's purely because I don't like the chaotic and very stressful gameplay, which is the whole foundation for this type of game.”
- “Did not like the gameplay, and I did not think this had the quality of other types of games.”
- “The gameplay goes like this:”

The story features a quirky adventure involving a bartender and their quest for riches from unusual sky beings, alongside interactions with unique characters, including a demanding boss. It emphasizes themes of perseverance and the unpredictability of life, encouraging players to keep trying despite setbacks.
- “Because the story exists, not only do you and your bartender friend seek riches from creepy sky people, but you also have special friends that drop in to visit as well as a grumpy old boss who is needier than my girlfriend.”
- “Especially on missions where I want to play again because I got only 1 or 2 stars and I want to get 3 stars, I end up with a lesser amount of total coins every time I replay them.”
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat mitigated by the match-3 mechanics, which serve primarily for bonus items and levels. However, the match-3 gameplay itself is often described as tedious and prolonged, leading to frustration over the lack of coin rewards for replaying completed levels.
- “The match-3 aspect is just for bonus items and bonus levels, which cuts the grind, but the match-3 itself is fairly dragged out and tedious.”
- “I can understand if the developers want to prevent people from farming coins, but they don't have to withhold coins from those who have already completed the same level earlier.”
