The game's graphics are praised for their unique candyland aesthetic, providing an enjoyable visual experience, especially for fans of vibrant styles. However, players have reported compatibility issues with AMD Radeon graphics and GPUs with less than 1GB of dedicated video memory, which may hinder performance. Overall, while the graphics are appealing, some feel the game lacks originality compared to similar titles.
- “Right off the bat, the game is unique with its candyland aesthetic.”
- “It is a lot of fun with outstanding graphics if you're into a sugar candy kind of world.”
- “Even when I have the graphics low, the game still looks great.”
- “I love this game, but heads up, it does not work for AMD Radeon graphics or any GPU that has under 1GB dedicated video memory. I have been playtesting this game.”
- “The graphics card goes into plasma state despite running 3 fans at 100%.”
- “But I don't understand the point of making an identical game to Satisfactory, only with a different graphic style.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, with slow progression and frustrating mechanics that hinder access to essential items. Many express dissatisfaction with the lack of farmable resources and the time-consuming nature of searching for specific items, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the gameplay.
- “The game is very grindy.”
- “Tedious gameplay and interface.”
- “Progression is extremely slow. I don't mind grinding in a game, but when a part of the game is inaccessible for some reason (like when I had enough power candies for 80 overclocks and they just vanished), it becomes frustrating. It would be helpful to have a device or unlock that shows where these items are, similar to how extractors work with milk sugar. Instead of making this one specific item un-farmable, it would be better to allow players to automate everything else while still being able to farm this item, rather than spending hours searching for it in a game where you're already grinding out other things and waiting for production.”
