The graphics are generally described as decent and colorful, featuring interesting animations that align well with a Halloween theme. While some players appreciate the aesthetic appeal, others find it trivial and not impactful on gameplay, with a sentiment that the visuals can become repetitive. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's fun factor, despite mixed feelings about their engagement level.
“It's matching well the currently approaching Halloween, quite colorful, interesting animations, graphics are good enough, music similar to classics like The Munsters, Adams Family or newer Hotel Transylvania, though unfortunately repetitive.”
“As these developers have not only put in achievements but bothered to put in level objectives along with some nice options of useful store/decorating area as well as nice graphics and it’s a fun game, I’m doing a full review.”
“Decent graphics, but boring to me.”

The gameplay is praised for its unique level objectives, which stand out from the typical "clear all cards" mechanics found in many other games. While the simple up/down gameplay could benefit from some deck adjustments, it is generally preferred over repetitive gameplay that lacks engaging elements. Overall, the game offers a refreshing take on gameplay that keeps players interested.
“What I love about this and their last game is the very rare gameplay of level objectives.”
“As this is a simple one up/down gameplay, it needs something different in each level other than the usual boring 'clear all cards' that every other developer does.”
“The deck could be tweaked a bit to make it less likely you'll get a card you can use, but I much prefer this type of gameplay than the usual boring gameplay of redoing a level multiple times to perfect a hand with nothing else of interest to keep you engaged.”
“But that's really trivial and not a gameplay factor, just aesthetic.”

The music in the game is well-received, featuring a Halloween-themed soundscape reminiscent of classic shows like "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family," as well as newer titles like "Hotel Transylvania." While players appreciate the ability to adjust the volume and the colorful animations, some note that the music can become repetitive over time.
“The music is good, and you can adjust the volume in settings.”
“It's matching well the currently approaching Halloween, quite colorful, interesting animations, graphics are good enough, music similar to classics like The Munsters, The Addams Family, or newer Hotel Transylvania, though unfortunately repetitive.”

The game lacks a compelling narrative, especially in comparison to its predecessor, focusing instead on a more superficial experience centered around decorating a cemetery. Many players express disappointment over the absence of a meaningful story.
“There isn’t a story with this one like there was with the first game; here it’s more of an odd comment in your 'decorate your cemetery area.'”
“I miss the story.”
