The gameplay of the game is characterized by a mix of unique mechanics and frustrating bugs, leading to a generally enjoyable but often tedious experience. Players appreciate the aesthetic and concept but criticize the clunky mechanics, such as the "click and drag" system and the need to recharge abilities, which detract from the puzzle-solving aspect. Overall, while the game has potential, it suffers from a lack of polish and coherence in its mechanics.
“Looks beautiful and offers different gameplay settings and features various mechanics and a nice storytelling.”
“The gameplay involves you doing various tasks, such as moving fluids to their designated potion bottle, creating a path for the fluids to slide into their bottles, and at harder levels, it will include obstacles too.”
“Bloop Reloaded really is a nice game, with both great gameplay and amazing aesthetics.”
“Clicking on the meteors to add more time grabbing the liquids (which is a buggy frustrating experience in itself) felt like a totally pointless mechanic to add.”
“The gameplay itself is cluttered and confused, with clashing mechanics (the 'click and drag your water to the target' mechanic is just astoundingly awful, and the 'click these random blobs to refill your click-and-drag meter' is jarringly out of place and seems to serve no real purpose), and the level design comes across as thoughtless and random, like playing random community-generated maps in other games.”
“The 'pull stuff' mechanic of the game moves it from a puzzle game to a frustrating trial and error game.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their beauty, vibrant colors, and appealing art style, making them a highlight for many players. However, some users note issues with physics and implementation, suggesting that while the visuals are impressive, they are marred by technical bugs and a lack of polish. Overall, the graphics are seen as a strong point, but they require further refinement to enhance the overall experience.
“The graphics and detail in the game are quite beautiful and very detailed and appealing to look at.”
“Bloop Reloaded really is a nice game, with both great gameplay and amazing aesthetics.”
“The visuals are very nice, with vivid colors and surreal landscapes, though it can be hard telling what counts as a foreground object and what's merely a background detail.”
“The graphics and UI are better than the first game, but the physics are too buggy; even the liquid can go through the bottle itself, and you can't get 100%.”
“The controls are iffy, and the graphics are nothing special either.”
“The graphics are okay, but they don't stand out.”

The game has been widely criticized for its instability, with numerous reports of bugs and glitches that significantly hinder gameplay. Players have experienced issues such as objects passing through walls, frustrating physics mechanics, and overall unpolished features, leading to a consensus that while the game has potential, its current state is too buggy to fully enjoy.
“I was able to solve every level with 100% and encountered no glitches or bugs that spoiled the fun.”
“The game runs smoothly without any crashes, making for a seamless gaming experience.”
“I appreciate how stable the game is; it allows me to focus on strategy without worrying about technical issues.”
“It's free, but there are so many glitches.”
“Just finished this game. When I started playing through the first levels, it felt like it would be a fun puzzle game with somewhat unique mechanics, but it didn't last long. Objects go through walls if you push them a little hard, which sometimes makes you have to restart the level. The mixing sometimes glitches and somehow gets stuck.”
“I like what this game is trying to do, but it's a buggy, unpolished mess.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its relaxing and fitting nature that enhances the atmosphere.

“The gameplay is also accompanied by light-hearted music, which alternates from time to time as you progress through the levels.”
“The concept of potion-making, the art, and the music combine to yield an atmosphere that is also quite joyful.”
“The sound is also fairly low quality, music getting repetitive and if there's a lock on the level you have to hear whatever machine sound effect is used over the music for the entire level.”
“The music is the same unimaginative minimalist orchestral stuff you hear in every other puzzle game these days.”
“Is it bad that I recognize the main menu theme as the narrative music to the hentai game 'Magic Shop'?”

Players find the grinding mechanics tedious, particularly due to the repetitive task of pulling liquid parts to specific locations, which requires multiple attempts and frequent power refills by clicking on stones. This aspect detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
“The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“The whole thing about the 'physics' here is that liquid... but hell, you will have to pull it to higher ground with its 'epic' mechanic of pulling it, which makes the game tedious, because you will try to get those liquid parts to a specific place, having to use pull multiple times. To refill that power, you need to click some stones that appear when it runs out.”
