Offers a challenging, old-school point-and-click adventure experience that rewards exploration, intuition, and puzzle solving without hand-holding.
Interesting and quirky storyline with surreal locations, time and space travel mechanics, and unique potion making and spell casting elements.
Atmosphere enhanced by decent artwork, nostalgic graphics, and fitting background music, providing a sense of joy and personal accomplishment for fans of classic adventure games.

Lacks polish with frequent bugs and glitches including inventory problems, crashes, and some game-halting issues requiring frequent saving and restarts.
No hint or skip system during lengthy and unskippable minigames, which can be tedious and frustrating, especially for casual players.
Poor UI/UX design with confusing navigation, limited inventory frustrations, unclear objectives, and a lack of in-game guidance, often forcing players to rely heavily on external walkthroughs.

Gameplay receives mixed feedback, with some players appreciating the nostalgic mechanics and challenge, while others criticize its steep learning curve, confusing design, and frustrating pacing. The game's hidden object elements and progression are seen as poorly guided and occasionally hindered by glitches, leading to a divisive experience.
- “I personally fell in love with the world and mechanics of Green Moon.”
- “Strange plot but nice scenery and totally playable if you know the quirks of the gameplay.”
- “But just like learning the Dewey Decimal System, this game has a steep curve when it comes to mastering the mechanics.”
- “But there's a ton of objects to pick, yet they're all useless as you first have to get to the basement and ultimately to a book which will open up the gameplay dramatically and finally give a meaning to the gazillion items to pick... The player should be guided directly toward the basement through hints or something, instead of being left alone wandering through a couple of screens, picking up stuff for nothing.”
- “And by that, I mean I have never seen a hidden object game with such bad gameplay.”
- “Let's ignore for a fact that I came across a glitch that stopped the game from being able to go beyond the first few minutes of gameplay.”

The graphics are generally viewed as modest and dated, fitting the nostalgic style of early 2000s adventure games, with some appreciating the artwork and environments despite overall low visual quality. While not impressive by modern standards, the aesthetic is considered appropriate and contributes to the game's charm.
- “Perhaps that is why I had no problems with the graphics and sound quality - the aesthetics match the feel of classic early aughts adventure games, so the styling comes across as both nostalgic and entirely appropriate to the gameplay.”
- “Some of the graphics for locations are pretty.”
- “The graphics in the wilderness can look nice.”
- “I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did, given the reviews and clearly questionable graphic quality.”
- “Graphics 2/10.”
- “Graphics is nothing special, but the background music is nice and always adequate to the surrounding environment.”

The game's stability is generally solid with minimal inventory glitches, mostly minor annoyances. However, certain actions like lighting a match or using magic chalk in specific areas can cause the game to freeze, requiring a restart. Save games help mitigate progress loss from these issues.
- “Two real glitches for me whilst playing: trying to light a match in both the pyramid and the Maya cave, as well as using the magic chalk in the Maya cave, halted the game completely so I had to close the game and restart (thank God for save games).”
- “Personally, I've had zero inventory glitches in my playthrough save for a couple of things returning to their original spots, which was more a mild bother than anything else.”
