Technical issues with input controls, such as fence placement and removal both assigned to left-click and right-click dedicated to unnecessary camera rotation.
Graphics can sometimes obscure important elements like fence placement and stone walls can be hard to see.
Limited volume control options with music volume too loud by default and few sound customization settings.

The game's graphics feature a "charmingly cheap" and simple art style with cute but minimally animated characters, which some find appealing for its quirky charm. While the visuals can occasionally obscure gameplay elements like fence placement, the overall aesthetic is pleasant and fitting for the game's lighthearted tone.
- “Happy Neighbors is a fun puzzler with cute graphics.”
- “Very pleasant graphics, easy input with mouse, ok sounds.”
- “As for aesthetics, the game uses an art style that I would describe as 'charmingly cheap.' The neighbors are cute, but they only stand around and animate just enough to represent facsimiles of living beings.”
- “Honestly, the game might play a bit better if the graphics were more simple and flat, as occasionally objects can obscure fence placement.”

The game's music features a light, cheerful, carnival-esque soundtrack that is generally pleasant and unobtrusive, fitting well with the gameplay. However, some users find the volume options lacking, with the game's audio being quite loud by default, and a few find the music potentially annoying. Overall, the soundtrack suits the game but could benefit from more flexible volume controls.
- “The game's soundtrack is a small selection of light and cheerful background music that I would describe as 'carnival-esque.' It's pleasant and doesn't get in the way, which is pretty much perfect for this game.”
- “Secondly, this game seriously needs more volume options than just turning music and sound on and off—seriously, the game is so much louder than every other program I have that I have to open the sound mixer and set its volume specifically to 1.”
- “The only complaint I have is that the music can get a little annoying.”
- “(If there's music, I'll have turned it off right away, I do with most games.)”

The gameplay is simple and revolves around dividing squares equally by adding fences to ensure each area contains a person, house, and eventually fruit. However, it remains somewhat repetitive as no new mechanics are introduced beyond the later addition of fruit.
- “Gameplay involves dividing the squares equally between neighbors by adding fences, making sure each has a person, house, and eventually fruit in their area.”
- “Apart from fruit being added later to make it a bit harder, there are no new game mechanics introduced, so it is a bit 'one note'.”
