Gameplay is hindered by poor level design that disrupts flow and creates frustration, as players struggle to align objects precisely. However, the game offers a helpful tutorial that effectively introduces mechanics and progressively challenging puzzles.
- “There is a good tutorial at the beginning to explain the mechanics and concept of the game, and then the puzzles get trickier.”
- “The level design looks thrown together, and makes the gameplay frustrating even if you can see what you're supposed to do, but just can't get the objects lined up so that everything chaotically falls into place right down to the last pixel.”
- “This is a noteworthy blunder, because not only does it impact the flow of gameplay, but Tim managed to fit the objects bar onto the screen back when screens were far smaller.”

Players feel that the grinding aspect of the game, particularly related to physics-based puzzles, detracts from the overall experience, making it more tedious than engaging.
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and monotonous, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “I find myself repeating the same tasks over and over, which really takes away from the enjoyment.”
- “The amount of grinding required to progress is frustrating and feels like a chore rather than fun.”
music

The music in the game is widely criticized for being subpar, especially when compared to its predecessor, Tim, leading to a lack of emotional engagement and enjoyment. Players feel that the music detracts from the overall experience, with some even opting to turn it off, which ironically is recognized as an achievement. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a significant weakness, undermining the game's homage to classic titles.
- “The achievements don't feel like I've achieved anything, as they include feats such as 'start the game for the first time.' The music is woefully bad compared to Tim, and turning it off declares another achievement: 'turn off the music for the first time.' If this was supposed to be an homage to Tim (practically the portal of its time, and still available on GOG), then it falls short by an order of magnitude and looks more like shovelware than an homage.”
