The gameplay of Cinnabunny is characterized by its smooth, simple mechanics and engaging baking system, allowing players to mix ingredients and receive feedback from characters. While the game offers a cozy, slow-paced experience with a variety of activities, some players noted issues with co-op functionality and menu navigation that can interrupt the flow. Overall, the game is praised for its charming atmosphere and responsive development team, though some feel that additional features could benefit from further refinement of the core mechanics.
- “The gameplay is smooth and very simple, with a couple of bugs that are actively and aggressively being fixed by a very caring developer.”
- “I enjoy that everything needs to be actively engaged with, and the things that can be automated don't take away from the cozy, slow-paced gameplay.”
- “There's a lot to do aside from the obvious (and very nicely done) baking/recipe unlocks— a neat Pokémon Snap-type bird watching mechanic, item collection, house decorating, exploration, plane flying, kiteboarding, and more, with great music and cute graphics to go along with all the fun activities.”
- “We loved the vibe and what the game is going for (I'm certain it achieves it in a single player experience), but this tethering mechanic makes it unplayable as a two player experience.”
- “The HUD popup around interactables is bugged in co-op to stay on screen when the tethering mechanic is triggered while displayed.”
- “You have to open the menu and scroll over to access the map every time, and I feel like it interrupts gameplay a bit.”
