Dissembler offers a satisfying and relaxing puzzle experience with simple mechanics that gradually increase in complexity, making it enjoyable for both casual and dedicated players.
The game features a variety of modes, including daily challenges and an infinite mode, providing significant replay value and keeping the gameplay fresh.
Visually appealing with a minimalistic design and satisfying sound effects, Dissembler creates a pleasant atmosphere that enhances the overall puzzle-solving experience.

Some players find the game can become tedious and overly reliant on trial-and-error, especially in later levels where the complexity increases significantly.
The lack of a hint system and the absence of a volume slider can lead to frustration, particularly for those who may struggle with certain puzzles or want more control over audio settings.
While the infinite mode adds replayability, it can feel chaotic and luck-based, detracting from the strategic elements that the main game offers.

The gameplay is characterized by a relaxing yet challenging puzzle experience that evolves through the introduction of new mechanics, keeping players engaged across hundreds of levels. While it starts easy, the game gradually increases in complexity, requiring strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. Despite some initial confusion with mechanics, the overall design offers significant replay value and a satisfying challenge for completionists.

- “Simple mechanics belie the sometimes challenging moments throughout the couple hundred levels, daily challenges, and 'endless' play modes, giving the game significant replay value.”
- “Here lies its most interesting trait: 'Dissembler' stands out in the vast 2D puzzle scene by bringing to the table a kind of game that evolves through the levels not because it adds in more mechanics, but because it actually forces you to think harder about what the final move needs to be in order to beat it.”

- “It can be unclear how some mechanics work, but I guess the theory of learning by doing is part of the puzzle.”
