Overall, the gameplay is praised for its creativity and visual appeal, with varying levels of energy and difficulty across different titles in the series.
- “Regardless, the unique gameplay makes this fun yet relaxing to play.”

- “Highly addictive, simple gameplay premise that's played with in increasingly creative and surprising ways as you delve further in.”
- “Operating the shrinking mechanic just removes your current sprite and spawns the small one, while in movement especially it can be very unintuitive to guess where you will spawn. Since you often have tight margins, you will be in an impossible situation where you can either hit a white bullet and shrink, then on shrink be disoriented and eat another white bullet, or attempt to dodge a bullet train, shrink on purpose in motion, and still eat a white bullet due to disorientation.”
- “An inversion of the play mechanics in bit.”
- “Trip series takes a much different gameplay approach not seen in many games.”
