The gameplay of Garage Flipper Prologue is generally engaging and visually appealing, but it suffers from significant lag and glitches, particularly with wall painting and bin mechanics. Players have reported needing to restart the game frequently due to these issues, and there are concerns about exploitative mechanics that allow for item duplication.
“Garage Flipper Prologue is a promising game with colorful graphics and engaging gameplay.”
“There is a lot of lag and glitches; sometimes I have to restart the game just to paint a wall. The painting mechanics and bin mechanics are glitched, and the to-do list can easily be duplicated by spamming the pick-up and place actions.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches reported by users, including lag, problematic mechanics for painting and item placement, and unresponsive controls. Players frequently encounter situations that require restarting the game to resolve, and the lack of clear guidance for fixing issues exacerbates the frustration. Overall, the game's stability is a major concern, detracting from the overall experience.
“Super buggy - played for 5 minutes and already noticed a bunch of weird things happening.”
“Still a bit lagging, and I actually mean there is a lot of lag and glitches. Sometimes I have to restart the game to paint a wall. The painting wall mechanics and bin mechanics are glitched, and the list of things to do can easily be duplicated by spamming pick up and place actions.”
“The controls are buggy, and it's troubling to place some items in certain areas. The boundaries are off, and you can't place things near a wall; otherwise, it won't count as being placed in the garage. When there's something wrong, it doesn't tell you how to fix it. For example, in the 'tutorial,' there was a bug that kept saying I hadn't finished cleaning the dust with my hoover, even after repainting and re-scraping all the walls.”

Users express frustration with the story's progression, noting a lack of clear mission completion indicators after finishing tasks in the first garage, leading to confusion and an abrupt end to the gameplay experience.
