The gameplay is characterized by a mix of well-designed mechanical puzzles that progressively introduce new mechanics, offering a satisfying challenge for players who enjoy strategic thinking. While the game features colorful graphics and a charming style, some players find the controls clunky and the timed mechanics frustrating, particularly for those not fond of pressure in puzzle-solving. Overall, it provides a solid puzzling experience, though it may lack depth on PC compared to its mobile counterpart.
- “This puzzle game has a steady introduction of puzzle mechanics that leads to an occasionally frustrating, but overall satisfying puzzle experience.”
- “Chip offers satisfying gameplay with a real level of challenge to its levels, and it’s presented wonderfully.”
- “A charming puzzle game that forces you to be quick on your toes and think outside the box to use the mechanics in unique ways.”
- “As a mobile game it's okay, but as a PC game it lacks gameplay depth.”
- “Even if the game worked, it seems the saving grace is only in the art, as the core gameplay of placing tiles to route an object around is tired and rather boring.”
- “The controls are clunky and there are a few issues with the gameplay, apart from it just being a tablet port, so it doesn't really belong on Steam anyway.”

- “I think if the developer had gone with a different art style (i.e., less cartoony) it would be more visually appealing, but that is merely my opinion.”
- “Flash game art style very basic puzzle game.”

The game's story is minimal and serves primarily as a backdrop for the puzzle-solving mechanics, with a basic narrative that is not central to the experience. While some players noted a cliffhanger ending, the overall consensus is that the lack of a strong backstory is acceptable given the game's focus on puzzles rather than storytelling.
- “There is some kind of storyline.”
- “There also isn't a very good backstory as to why the puzzles have to be solved, but that's fine, as it's a puzzle game, not a story-driven game.”
- “Despite a lack of strong story or narrative (there is a basic story, but it's not an important theme), the game felt like it ended on a cliffhanger.”
- “The story is very basic, as the focus of the game is more on puzzle solving.”
- “There is some kind of story line.”

Players generally find the gameplay enjoyable, with a good balance of non-grindy content for initial playthroughs. However, those aiming for 100% achievements may encounter levels that necessitate extensive grinding through repeated attempts to master specific challenges.
- “Overall the gameplay is enjoyable and should provide solid puzzling on the first pass-through while leaving a fair bit of non-grindy content for a second run (although those seeking 100% achievements will likely find a few levels that will require a great many consecutive refreshes to memorize and complete the speed, treasure, or special solve).”
