The story mode is described as cute and silly, providing a light narrative that complements the gameplay but is not essential to the experience. While the story spans around 75 stages and offers a decent challenge, players primarily engage with the game for its gameplay mechanics rather than the plot itself. The difficulty progression is well-received, gradually increasing as players advance, making it accessible yet engaging for a variety of skill levels.
“There's enough here to warrant a play-through for panel masters, especially seeing the silly story unfold.”
“The main story campaign being a gauntlet of objectives and play styles is a brilliant way to go about it; it feels like a proper celebration of the wide variety of fun to be had with this style of game.”
“The story mode is cute and funny too.”
“It has a story mode, but not much.”
“The story only involves the first 75 stages; the rest are just harder bonus levels.”
“There is a leaderboard for the best scores obtained in the game's 'endless' mode, and of course there is always speedrunning, but not much to do after completing the story for players who aren't already close to the top level in skill.”

The gameplay is primarily focused on fast-paced tile-matching mechanics reminiscent of the Panel de Pon and Tetris Attack series, offering a fun and engaging experience despite some missing features and minor mechanical differences. While it may take time to master the controls, players find it enjoyable and challenging, especially at a reasonable price. Overall, the game is a solid implementation of its core mechanics, appealing to fans of the genre, though it may not fully satisfy those seeking a faithful reproduction of its predecessors.
“Fun fast-thinking tile-matching gameplay for a reasonable price.”
“The game was clearly produced on a budget, but the gameplay is solid, and the campaign is longer than I would have expected for the price.”
“Gameplay is very fun and easy to pick up and play.”
“Despite being in the Tetris Attack / Panel de Pon / Pokémon Puzzle League style of game, it's missing key gameplay features of pretty much every other title in that style.”
“A copycat version of Puzzle League, with bad gameplay.”
“Don't be fooled by the Tetris-like look and feel: the mechanics are nothing like Tetris.”

The game offers some replayability, but many players feel that after around 12 hours of gameplay, they have exhausted its content and are unlikely to return for more.
“There's some replayability value, but I'm already done at 12 hours. Check my status and you'll see if I reinstalled and kept playing later on.”
