The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and lack of variety, with basic mechanics that are easy to pick up but ultimately lead to a repetitive experience. While it may serve as a casual time-waster, the overall quality is hindered by low production values and minimal content, making it more suitable for sale purchases rather than full price.
“The game mechanics are simple and yet enjoyable.”
“Simple to pick up and fast gameplay.”
“There's no other appeal besides its novel gameplay.”
“Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
“It's okay for a game this cheap to be so basic in its premise and gameplay; the problem is the lack of variety in gameplay.”
“Seems like a beta game with no extra modes or advanced gameplay.”

The music in the game is described as relaxing and enjoyable, though opinions on its quality vary based on personal taste. It primarily features tracks under Creative Commons, reflecting its RPG Maker origins, and while it may not be the main draw of the game, it contributes positively to the overall experience.
“A good portion (if not all) of the music is under Creative Commons; it is an RPG Maker-made game; there's no other appeal besides its novel gameplay.”
“Enjoyable music depending on taste.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“Sound/music: ★★”

The graphics received mixed reviews, with criticism aimed at the RPG Maker engine's limitations, such as poor fullscreen display and lack of HD support, which detracts from the experience for modern gamers. However, the artwork itself is noted to be attractive, providing some visual appeal despite the technical shortcomings.
“The graphics feature attractive artwork.”
“What this game has in common with all RPG Maker games is the poor quality engine that displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
