The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying its fun mechanics reminiscent of the Worms series, while others find it frustrating and overly reliant on luck rather than skill. Critics note that the game feels unbalanced and is heavily influenced by a pay model, detracting from the overall experience. Additionally, many aspects, such as explosions and level destruction, are considered inferior compared to recent Worms titles.
- “I remember the first time I played it, approximately in 2015 or 2016 in a Facebook beta. It was a treasure trove with many more weapons and events with epic mechanics.”
- “Fun gameplay because it's basically the same as Worms.”
- “Some of the custom items you can get for your characters affect your actual gameplay, giving you stat boosts of various sorts.”
- “The actual gameplay is frustrating and an overall crappy experience. The developers tried to make this heavily strategic game, but it came out as a 50/50 mix of luck and skill. It's like trying to play chess, but instead of chess pieces, you have jumping frogs everywhere that turn everything into a mess!”
- “Bombix feels like it was set up in a way where the gameplay is built around the pay model, similar to many mobile games.”
- “Nothing is done as well as in any of the recent Worms games. The explosions are weaker, the level destruction is weaker, and the gameplay... you name it, and it's weaker than in Worms.”

The graphics received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the game for its unoriginal art style, likening it to a poor imitation of "Worms" and "Angry Birds." While the map designs are noted to be visually appealing, the lack of variety due to the absence of randomly or procedurally generated maps detracts from the overall experience.
- “The art style is quite nice on the maps, but there isn't the same variety as with Worms since there are no randomly or procedurally generated maps, just the ones that come with it.”
- “0% graphics.”
- “Boring and crappy worms copy with an art style ripping off Angry Birds.”

The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized as a cash grab, featuring pervasive pay-to-win microtransactions that compel players to purchase in-game currency to gain advantages over others. Many users view it as a deceptive mobile app that has been poorly adapted for the Steam platform.
- “This nasty mobile app dumped on Steam as a cash grab is completely riddled with pay-to-win microtransactions. You have to buy red 'gems' to purchase weapons and utilities to compete against other players.”
- “This is basically a scam... a nasty mobile app scam dumped on Steam as a cash grab.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, criticizing it as tedious and unfulfilling, especially in the absence of multiplayer options. Many feel that the grind for unlocking weapons, maps, and characters is not worth the effort, particularly when key features are either missing or locked behind excessive grinding or paywalls.
- “This is the worst thing I have ever played. The only thing you want to do in a cheap Worms rip-off is play with your friends, and you can't. So I don't see the point in grinding through every weapon, map, character, etc., just to be bored out of your mind.”
- “The game is missing tons of features, or they are locked behind grinding or paywalls.”
