While some players find the mechanics entertaining and strategic, others criticize the flicking system as cumbersome and overly complex, detracting from the overall experience.

- “It's quite entertaining, smooth running, had no issues of any kind and found the gameplay quite strategic and enjoyable.”
- “The game mechanics and setting are unique, charming, and enjoyable.”
- “Conflicks: revolutionary space battles is a creative new take on space-themed video games that merges the deep, thoughtful gameplay of strategy games with the intuitive accessibility of physics-based games.”
- “The flicking mechanic takes too long to do that at higher levels and harder difficulty settings, so much is happening at once that it becomes incredibly difficult to keep up.”
- “The gameplay is just horrid though.”
- “This game simply doesn't work as an RTS with the flicking mechanics.”

- “The single-player story is both humorous and compelling in its absurdity.”
- “I don't know what substances the devs were on to come up with the backstory and so forth, but I do hope they had a successful retreat in rehab and are now okay. So, if you completely ignore all that stuff and just play the game, it's quite amazing.”
- “To be totally honest, I was sucked in by the story and aesthetics of the cutscenes, but I've played this free access full version of the game.”
- “Bordering on breaking the fourth wall and never taking itself seriously, this game tells a story of love in space, with chickens thrown in to spice things up.”

- “That is not funny, no matter how beautifully you illustrate it or how many witty references are thrown in.”
