The gameplay of Blokker features well-paced mechanics that introduce players to engaging and challenging puzzles without becoming overly frustrating. While the minimalist design and short levels allow for quick play sessions, many users feel the game is too brief and would benefit from a save feature for more complex puzzles. Overall, the mechanics are satisfying, but the limited length leaves players wanting more.

The music in the game is generally appreciated for its beauty, but some users feel it doesn't align well with the game's aesthetic. A minor complaint is that the music auto-plays on startup and doesn't remember previous settings, which some find inconvenient but not a significant drawback.
“The music is beautiful and enhances the overall experience of the game.”
“The soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, creating an immersive atmosphere.”
“The variety of music tracks keeps the experience fresh and engaging throughout.”
“My only real complaint is that the music auto-plays every time you start and doesn't remember if it was muted previously. However, that's nowhere near a big enough issue to label it as a major drawback in my opinion.”
“The soundtrack is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during longer play sessions.”
“I found the music to be quite bland and forgettable, which detracted from the overall experience of the game.”

Users report that the game's stability is compromised by erratic physics, particularly with bullets bouncing at unexpected angles, which detracts from the overall experience and shifts the gameplay from a puzzle focus to a buggy feel.
“It was fun until the bullets started bouncing at angles other than 90 degrees, turning it into a weird buggy physics game instead of a puzzle game.”

The game offers limited replay value, though it may evoke nostalgic feelings reminiscent of classic games like Pong.
“Little replay value, but I had a Pong flashback.”
“Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to play again.”
“The lack of varied outcomes makes replaying feel tedious.”
