The gameplay is described as lacking depth, with some users criticizing it as simplistic and reminiscent of mobile app experiences. While some appreciate the focus on fun, wacky mechanics and engaging choice-based elements, others feel that the overall experience is too short and may not justify the price. Additionally, there are mentions of a confusing user interface impacting the gameplay experience.
- “These games are so much fun, they're wacky, and they make choice-based elements and quick time events—two gameplay elements that are usually shoehorned into games as cheap gimmicks—actually fun.”
- “I don't necessarily agree, because I think shorter titles that maintain a high and consistent quality experience for 10 hours are far more worth the money than one where half of the gameplay is busy work for 40 hours.”
- “Regardless, if you don't think 10 hours of gameplay is enough to warrant a $15 purchase, then I'd recommend you wait for a sale.”
- “Lame gameplay... it's just so much more mobile app steam pollution.”
- “And that's all the gameplay that there is!”
- “Weird UI and gameplay.”

The graphics in this tower defense game have been criticized for their lazy, minimalist design, which some users describe as "godawful" and reminiscent of a mobile app. While the visuals may not appeal to everyone, there are positive mentions of nice-looking towers and decent animations, suggesting that the game can still be enjoyable for those who prioritize gameplay over aesthetics.
- “Nice looking towers with interesting abilities, great visuals, decent music and a voice over for each level.”
- “As a tower defense, it's garbage, with phoned-in minimalist graphics (get it, phoned in, because this is a mobile app?).”
- “This features really godawful, lazy minimalist line/block 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
