The gameplay features progressively challenging puzzle mechanics that start easy but become increasingly complex, offering a well-balanced difficulty curve. While enjoyable and creative, especially with its color-changing mechanics, the overall depth may feel shallow for serious PC gamers, making it better suited for mobile play.
- “Dungeon Color is a very fun and pretty game, with a beautiful protagonist and challenging levels. Its progression of difficulty is very well balanced, its music is very relaxing and pleasant to listen to, and its main mechanic is creative and creates extremely challenging levels to solve.”
- “Dungeon Color is a very nice puzzle; the color-changing fire mechanic is very cool.”
- “I couldn't see this on the mobile app stores but it seems more suited to mobile apps than being a serious PC game, as the shallow gameplay lacks sufficient depth to be recommendable to any serious PC gaming enthusiast.”
- “Regarding the puzzles themselves, they start off quite easy but become increasingly difficult with each mechanic added.”
- “It's just gameplay.”

The graphics feature a retro pixel art style that some find visually appealing and polished, but others criticize for being outdated and lacking resolution customization or variation throughout the game. While animations are generally smooth, the visual presentation remains static and simplistic. Overall, the graphics may appeal to fans of retro aesthetics but offer limited visual innovation.
- “The animations and visuals are nice, but that's about it.”
- “And while it's nice, there's no variation whatsoever; it's the same visuals for the entire game.”
- “Really nice and polished game, with good visuals and audio!”
- “Resolution and controls are locked, and can't be changed or customised to improve the visuals or the control experience, beyond two aspect choices that don't actually change the resolution of the game or make it look any better.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “And while it's nice, there is no variation whatsoever; it's the same visuals for the entire game.”

Grinding in the game is slow and tedious, involving repetitive walking and simple, unengaging tasks. Players often find it monotonous and may require additional time or effort to progress.
- “There are no "aha" moments; it's just slow, tedious walking, stopping for a second to do some basic "connect the dots" logic, and then more slow walking.”

The monetization is viewed skeptically, as users associate Gamemaker Studio with low-effort, cash-grab titles, making the $4 USD price tag seem potentially unjustified.
