The music in the game consists of only one song that plays sporadically, leading to a sense of inconsistency and a loss of atmosphere when it is absent. While some players appreciate the existing music and its fit with the game's graphics, many express a desire for a more constant and varied musical experience to enhance immersion.
“The music has a mind of its own and plays whenever it feels like.”

The gameplay features interesting mechanics like missiles and unique creatures, but they become repetitive across levels, diminishing their appeal. While the game is accessible and suitable for younger players or those new to puzzle games, it may lack depth for more experienced gamers. Overall, it offers a solid challenge with retro-style elements, but its novelty may wear off quickly.
“All in all, a very good puzzle game with retro-styled mechanics that provide a good challenge.”
“Check out my gameplay of Genius Greedy Mouse and see for yourself what this game is about; I promise my gameplay is top quality!”
“Conclusion: If you are a 10-year-old child and haven't played a puzzle game in your life, I would recommend this to you because of its easy difficulty and simple mechanics.”
“The mechanics the game introduces every now and then, like missiles or weird Pac-Man creatures, are interesting but get boring once they appear in every level.”

“Maybe there's a delicious nougat center of genuine gameplay hidden under all these layers of protective packaging, but at this rate, I kind of doubt it.”

The zoom feature also adds to the frustration, as it interrupts gameplay flow.
