The 3D voxel art style is visually appealing, and the satisfaction of seeing completed models come together is a highlight.

The gameplay can feel tedious and repetitive, as players often color layers that will be hidden in the final model.
Performance issues, especially in larger levels, lead to lag and frustrating gameplay experiences.
The lack of challenge, such as the inability to color incorrectly, diminishes the engagement and satisfaction compared to its predecessor, Coloring Pixels.

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and accessibility, making it suitable for casual players seeking a relaxing experience. However, many reviewers criticize its lack of depth and meaningful interaction, describing it as repetitive and tedious, especially in later levels.

- “The mechanics are simple and intuitive, making it a great pick for casual play or quick breaks.”
- “Relaxing, low-pressure gameplay perfect for unwinding.”
- “Overall it's very satisfying and simple; the only thing missing is sound effects when you color the voxels in. I think that would add to the even more satisfying gameplay. Great work, guys.”
- “Very limited gameplay depth or progression.”
- “The gameplay was tolerable on the smaller models but becomes increasingly tedious once you pass the 5k mark.”
- “There is almost no depth to the gameplay, and every level can be completed by just dragging your mouse back and forth until every pixel is colored.”

Overall, the optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, particularly in levels with multiple layers or complex graphics.

Despite these concerns, a few players noted that the game is still enjoyable and may improve with future updates.
- “I haven't experienced any performance issues except maybe a tiny lag spike when finishing a large image, or opening one that's in progress, but nothing game-breaking or frustrating at all.”
- “It does have some performance issues and a few bugs, but I would say it's acceptable for now, considering the game has only been out for a week.”
- “Coloring voxels encourages mindful building, artistic exploration, and quiet joy—though early performance tweaks would help it shine even more.”
- “First of all, the performance is horrible.”
- “Somehow, performance was so completely ignored during development that they released a coloring game that can't maintain 20 fps.”
- “The performance is bad and there are a lot of bugs, which I'll excuse for a game that just released from a small studio.”

- “The music is depressing, and they've left all the charm of the first game on the cutting room floor.”

The graphics of the game are described as charming yet basic, with a 3D voxel art style that lacks depth and complexity. While the visuals are pleasant, they can be repetitive, and some users report performance issues, particularly in demanding scenes, leading to low frame rates.

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly when coloring large models or dealing with extensive levels. While some appreciate the satisfaction of seeing their work come together, many express frustration with the excessive bloat and lag, especially in specific packs like the underwater one, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback, with calls for improvements to make it less monotonous.
- “It's 90% tedious bloat; you're coloring completely unnecessary cells that you will never be able to see in the finished model, and the process is basically holding down the left mouse button and waving it back and forth.”
- “The gameplay was tolerable on the smaller models but becomes increasingly tedious once you pass the 5k mark.”
- “Personally, I think the underwater pack ruined it for me; that pack is extremely tedious and boring. I was quite enjoying the game until I started the underwater pack. I found myself closing and returning repeatedly for this pack; it sucks the enjoyment out of the game.”

The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting significant bugs and glitches, particularly when navigating menus or during gameplay. While some acknowledge that issues may be expected on the first day of release, the overall consensus is that the game feels unpolished and prone to errors, detracting from the experience.
- “I like it, but it's buggy. If I try to play, I have to be careful so the picture doesn't fade away into the background. If it does, I cannot get it back, and when I do, it kind of glitches out of the screen. Also, when I try to play again, it turns around really fast, and every time I click on something, I don't know if it's my game doing the same thing to other people's games. Please fix it.”
- “I was so excited for this sequel that I stayed up late to try it out, but it's such a buggy mess compared to the tight gameplay of coloring pixels.”
- “Extremely poor translation and still very buggy... even for a free game.”
