- The game offers a charming pixel art style and a nostalgic soundtrack reminiscent of old-school platformers, enhancing the overall experience.
- With 108 levels that gradually increase in difficulty, the game provides a satisfying challenge for completionists and casual players alike.
- The gameplay can become repetitive, with limited variation in level design and enemy types throughout the game.
- Some levels feature unfair enemy placements and hidden traps that can lead to frustrating, unavoidable deaths.
- The lack of checkpoints within levels can be frustrating, as players may have to replay long sections after a single mistake.

The music in the game features a nostalgic chip-tune style reminiscent of old Game Boy titles, which some players find addictive. However, many reviewers note that the soundtrack is repetitive and lacks variety, with a desire for more than one song to enhance the experience. Overall, while the music serves its purpose, it doesn't leave a lasting impression.
“The soundtrack sounds nice and retro-ish.”
“The soundtrack is reminiscent of old Game Boy titles and very addictive.”
“The sound has the old-style chip-tune bloops and whistles as well, and while the soundtrack isn’t particularly memorable, it does the job.”
“The music is a bit repetitive, but I found myself watching movies while playing.”
“Music is okay (wish there would be more than one song though).”
“There are a lot of things that could have been done to make a better playing experience (like a proper story, more than one music song, more than one upgrade, etc.), but as said, it's still a solid platformer; just don't expect anything special.”

The graphics of "Cluckles" feature a charming pixel art style reminiscent of old 8-bit games, which users find appealing and timeless. While the visuals are simple, they contribute to the game's cute and entertaining atmosphere, making it enjoyable for players, especially in the context of speedrunning. Overall, the graphics are well-received for their nostalgic charm and suitability for the game's design.
“Entertaining cute little game where you play as a chicken and save little chickies and kill evil slugs, skeletons, etc. Very simple and pleasing gameplay with cute graphics. Also very fun to speedrun, especially with the leaderboards and in-game timer!”
“I do like the graphics and the combat with the sword and shield and would be interested to see these parts of the game develop.”
“This is deliberately designed to replicate an art style that didn’t age well, but Cluckles is a fine example of its use, and will certainly look no worse in five years!”
“Simple graphics but I would recommend.”
“The artwork and design is kept rather simple but is still very charming.”

The gameplay is characterized by solid mechanics and varied level design, offering a fun and visually appealing experience, especially for speedrunners. However, the absence of checkpoints within levels detracts from the overall enjoyment and respect for player time. Despite its potential, there is still significant room for improvement.

“Overall, this is a game with a lot of potential and visually looks very good with some great ideas and mechanics, but does have room for a lot of improvement.”
“The mechanics are solid, and the level design is varied and fun, but the lack of checkpoints within levels is a serious lack of respect for my time investment.”

The game's story is minimal and largely nonsensical, consisting of only a few lines of text that fail to provide context for the gameplay, such as the reason for collecting "chicks." While the platforming mechanics are solid, many players feel that a more developed narrative could have significantly enhanced the overall experience.
“There is also no story to this game (there were like 3-5 lines of text that made little sense), and I'm not sure why I'm collecting 'chicks,' but I am because if I didn't, then I'd be missing half (or more) of the level.”
“There are a lot of things that could have been done to make a better playing experience, like a proper story, more than one music track, more than one upgrade, etc. But as said, it's still a solid platformer; just don't expect anything special.”
