While the game offers great value for its price, users report significant stability issues due to erratic shapes that lead to unpredictable movement and overlapping, especially when compared to the more stable mechanics of the developer's previous title, Suika Game.
“For the price, it's a steal, but in the end, not perfect since the erratic shapes cause lots of problems, such as unpredictable movement and overlapping or sticking to each other.”
“Compared to the more popular Suika game from the same developer on Switch, which uses balls that move in a controlled manner and have no buggy behavior, this game has some stability issues.”

The gameplay is reminiscent of the watermelon game (suika game) on the Switch, featuring similar mechanics but with added challenges due to varied shapes. Players find it equally addictive, making for a familiar yet engaging experience.
“The gameplay mechanics are similar to the watermelon game (Suika Game) on Switch, but with added challenges due to the different shapes. It feels almost identical to play and is equally as addictive.”
