Cloney offers a cute and visually appealing experience with engaging graphics and a fun soundtrack.
The game is free to play and provides easy achievements, making it accessible for casual gamers and achievement hunters.
Despite its flaws, some players find it enjoyable for short bursts of gameplay and appreciate the challenge it presents.

The gameplay is repetitive and lacks depth, often compared unfavorably to Flappy Bird, with frustrating controls and hitboxes.
Many players find the achievement system, particularly the 'survive for 15 minutes' challenge, to be overly tedious and difficult.
The game feels like a rushed mobile port with poor optimization for PC, leading to issues like resolution problems and a lack of in-game options.

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the nice visuals and detailed backgrounds, while others criticize the inconsistency in character design and the overall execution. Although there are commendable elements like a good physics engine and appealing aesthetics, issues such as a lack of in-game options and the presence of low-quality sprites detract from the overall experience.
- “Overall great little game with some pretty good graphics!”
- “This game is well thought out, has good graphics, a good physics engine and quite realistic flight speeds.”
- “♦ good graphics and sounds (sound is relaxing; trees/backgrounds/our character are well detailed)”
- “While the visuals seem okay, apparently they didn't hold back on buying the very best of someone else's work to present as if it was their own; the gameplay is woeful.”
- “A shoddy little clone of Flappy Bird, with Rayman-esque graphics!”
- “No full in-game options menu, only a unit options menu outside the game which tends to be broken. This is annoying as you can't change resolution, graphics, etc. only sound within the game and have to use the Unity option menu outside of the game, which tends not to work most of the time.”
