The game offers various modes, including a relaxing Zen mode and a challenging Daily Challenge, which adds variety and keeps gameplay fresh.

The in-game dictionary can be inconsistent, leading to frustration when valid words are not recognized or when obscure words are accepted.
The gameplay can feel limiting due to the mechanics, making it difficult to create longer words and often resulting in a reliance on luck.
A lack of clear tutorials or explanations for game mechanics can leave players confused about how to fully engage with the game.

Bloxi combines word building with Tetris mechanics, but many players find the gameplay unsatisfying due to the limited number of valid word combinations and a lack of clear instructions. While the straightforward mechanics allow for casual play, the zen mode helps players acclimate and improve their skills, and the daily challenge mode adds variety by altering gameplay dynamics. Overall, the game offers potential but struggles to deliver a compelling experience.
- “The zen mode is a great way to get up to speed and understand the gameplay while you build up your skills and vocabulary.”
- “It also doesn't help that the game never properly explains its mechanics.”
- “The mechanics are very straightforward: you are playing Tetris - blocks of various shapes rain down, and you have to rotate them to fit into gaps, trying to prevent your tower from growing to the top of the screen.”
- “They also got a daily challenge mode which is cool, keeps things fresh and unique by removing one letter from gameplay.”

- “Nice presentation, really good music. There are resolution options, windowed mode, separate volume settings, screen shake slider, and what I find to be a must in word games, mid-level saving.”
