The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it initially entertaining but ultimately repetitive and lacking depth. While the pixel art and humor are praised, the mechanics often feel basic and frustrating, leading to a sense of boredom as players progress through levels that can vary significantly in difficulty. Overall, the game offers a unique blend of puzzle and strategy elements, but many feel it doesn't fully deliver on its potential, resulting in a gameplay experience that can be both charming and tedious.
“The gameplay varies between very simple real-time strategy and puzzles, though it heavily leans toward the latter, especially as you progress and more and more interesting gameplay elements pop up (catapults? bunny multipliers?? dimensional shifts???).”
“Each stage of Fluffy Horde presents you with a different tactical situation against a horde of bloodthirsty (but honestly quite cute) rabbits, a different design for each invasion and often interesting new mechanics to spice them up.”
“The art style leads to a very satisfying gameplay loop, making it both challenging and weirdly addictive.”
“Fun game ruined by poor mechanics and complete lack of controls.”
“You'd think there is a lot of variety in what the game proposes, and at the very beginning it seems so, but then the gameplay formula falls into boredom and repetition astonishingly quick, proposing missions that just look like a copy-paste of the previous ones with slight changes, leading to utter boredom in just some hours of gameplay.”
“The utter boredom gameplay delivers is the most awful issue, and literally kills the game because of not enough variety and player involvement factors.”

The humor in the game is highly polarizing, with some players finding it charming and funny, while others describe it as cringy and unoriginal. Many appreciate the quirky and absurd elements, such as bizarre character designs and humorous voice acting, but others criticize the repetitive and juvenile nature of the jokes. Overall, the game's comedic approach seems to resonate with some players, while leaving others feeling frustrated and unimpressed.
“A humorously charming strategy/puzzle game with 100 levels of bunny-busting bedlam.”
“Tons of funny little video game easter eggs, great voice acting and art, and although the concept may seem weird and they put a goofy spin on it the levels are designed well to make you think outside the box!”
“The short of it: a genuinely funny game that made me laugh at its bizarre and inventive humor.”
“It's obnoxious and unfunny to anyone who has developed past puberty.”
“Graphics are well done, but the voice acting is awful and unfunny.”

The story in the game is largely criticized for being shallow, clichéd, and often an afterthought, with many players finding it difficult to engage with the narrative amidst the gameplay. While some appreciate its self-aware humor and quirky elements, the overall consensus is that the story fails to provide a compelling backdrop for the missions, which are often repetitive and puzzle-like rather than strategic. Ultimately, the narrative does not significantly enhance the gaming experience, leaving many players feeling disappointed.
“The small amount of story and humor will be hit or miss for a lot of people, but there's quite a substantial amount of levels for a game at this low of a price, and the story is serving the play experience of going through the levels; it doesn't try to overdevelop itself.”
“A rich story that you will be lapping up.”
“Cool voice overs and story.”
“The story doesn't make much sense and you only see/hear of the story at the end of each boss level.”
“I found the story to be mostly an afterthought and pretty vapid.”
“The story is very basic, full of clichés, and just not even worth following.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their charming pixel art style, which evokes a nostalgic retro feel reminiscent of classic 8-bit games. Many reviewers highlight the beautiful and fluid visuals, along with the creative and humorous character designs, making the graphics the standout feature of the game. However, some players note that while the graphics are appealing, they feel the overall gameplay experience is lacking compared to other titles in the genre.
“The graphics and animation look great, at least.”
“The pixel art graphic is beautiful and fluid.”
“The graphics are definitely the best part of the game, as the fluid pixel art is quite pleasing to view.”
“They chose to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“The graphics are very much pixelated on purpose, making the game feel like an 8-bit NES game.”
“Instead it fails on the most critical part, gameplay, while just being mediocre in everything else except graphics, which are pleasant and admittedly well done.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it catchy and fitting for the game's aesthetic, while others describe it as repetitive and annoying over time. Many users noted that the soundtrack can enhance the experience but often leads to frustration due to its looping nature and lack of variety. Overall, while some appreciate the chiptune style and find it enjoyable, others recommend muting it in favor of their own music.
“The music is lovely to listen to and it kind of fits the game.”
“That combined with the adorable graphics and the relaxing yet enticing music makes for a game I will definitely revisit on a bored afternoon.”
“What a game! Honestly, for a little tower defense style game, it has really fun puzzles, a great little plot, and some awesome music.”
“The music is obnoxious.”
“For me, this issue of frustration compounds massively when you add in the worst, most repugnant and least appropriate soundtrack to a game I've heard in ages.”
“Repetitive soundtracks and voice lines result in a cacophony you don't want to hear anymore after some hours of playtime.”

Despite the potential for engaging content, the excessive grind required to access it is seen as a significant drawback.

“Incredibly boring and tedious gameplay, especially in the long run or prolonged sessions.”

Character development in the game is reminiscent of classic Saturday morning cartoons, featuring exaggerated designs and a blend of humor that appeals to nostalgia. Players appreciate the quirky character and level designs, which contribute to an engaging aesthetic and enhance the overall gameplay experience.
“It has a feel of old school Saturday morning cartoons, and just the right touch of 'almost gross-out humor', 'almost exaggerated character design' and background/level design and variety, to give it a very aesthetic feel when put together.”
“On sale, I would say if you like slaying bunnies, quicker-paced side-scrolling gameplay in the vein of Worms or Kingdoms, or goofy outrageous level/character design, with a lot of nice touches picked from other favorites over the years, I would say, absolutely worth it.”
