The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics where players control a ball rolling through levels, avoiding obstacles and collecting coins. While the physics can be finicky and the lack of diverse abilities may lead to a feeling of emptiness, the overall experience is considered enjoyable, especially given the low price point and the relaxing soundtrack. However, issues with the checkpoint system and movement physics have been noted, suggesting a need for better quality assurance.
- “The emphasis is on the gameplay.”
- “Considering the nice gameplay, the beautiful soundtrack, and the 100+ achievements, I think Atmasphere is worth it at $2.99.”
- “The gameplay is simple; you control a ball and roll through a level from beginning to end across different types of platforms, attempting to not fall off as you avoid various obstacles and collect gold coins.”
- “This sometimes renders the checkpoint mechanic useless; surely with a bit of QA testing, that would have been taken care of, unless it's a desired mechanic?”
- “There's no other mechanics; you can't jump, have no abilities, and there are no environmental effects. You just roll, and it starts to feel a bit empty fairly quickly.”
- “Finicky, oversensitive controls and countless minutes of fighting with the physics engine to make a small movement in an increasingly frustrating farce of gameplay.”

The story revolves around a simplistic quest where players control a rolling ball tasked with delivering gems to its girlfriend, another metal ball, which some find cute but ultimately unengaging. While the theme of love adds a charming atmosphere, the narrative lacks depth and fails to captivate, leading to mixed reviews on its overall impact.
- “The theme is entertaining and, if nothing else, the atmosphere is a love story.”
- “A story of a metal ball reuniting with his girlfriend (another metal ball).”
- “The story is you playing a black rolling ball that must begin rolling from your house to reach your girlfriend’s house.”
- “So, the story is not much more than that.”
- “And the story is kind of cute, I guess, but that doesn't really make up for all of the above, so unfortunately, thumbs down from me.”
