The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a balanced variety of items to merge and smooth mechanics, though it has been criticized for being a clone of Merge Mansion with similar flaws, such as unresponsive UI and excessive bubble spam.

Overall, the experience is mixed, with both positive and negative feedback on its execution.
“Lots of fun, with a balanced variety of items to merge and some distinct mechanics here and there.”
“The gameplay is smooth and easy flowing, the storyline is good and unobtrusive.”
“Fantastic gameplay and great story.”
“The new event mechanic is hot garbage that's nearly impossible to make any progress on without spending money and I have no idea what the rewards are, so I'm gonna ignore it.”
“Sadly, while it copied most merge mansion mechanics, it also copied its shortcomings such as bubble spam that you can only open with gems and floods your board, bad reward chests full of low-value items instead of source items, and so on.”

While some enjoy the side missions, the overall experience is marred by the repetitive nature of grinding, prompting players to seek alternatives for better replayability.
