The graphics of "Hollow Mind: The Lost Puppy" receive mixed reviews, with some praising the cute low poly visuals and atmospheric background artwork, while others criticize the overall quality as mediocre and reminiscent of low-end pixel art. Despite the appealing aesthetic, many players feel that the graphics overshadow the lackluster gameplay and clunky controls.

- “Cute low poly graphics, relaxing atmosphere.”
- “I love the aesthetic and simple play-style.”
- “Especially surprised by the pretty well-designed graphics and great music throughout the game.”
- “Hollow Mind: The Lost Puppy is a rather mediocre 2D retro pixel platformer with graphics only slightly better than pixel 'art' (low poly 'art' instead) and, well, not much reason for anyone to want to play it.”
- “This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”
- “However, the controls are clunky and the default graphics are set on 'potato' level.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it simplistic and lacking depth, leading to a boring experience in the 2.5D platformer format. Suggestions for improvement include adding high score displays and more mechanics to enhance engagement, while some players noted bugs and issues with enemy behavior that detracted from enjoyment. Overall, while the visuals are praised, the gameplay fails to deliver a compelling experience.
- “Adding a high score display would be a simple way to give the player something to aim for, and adding more ways to earn points (e.g. defeating enemies, completing levels quickly) would make the moment-to-moment gameplay feel more purposeful.”
- “Gameplay 5/5”
- “In terms of visuals, it looked pretty good and definitely had atmosphere, but in terms of gameplay it was pretty off and was just a boring 2.5D platformer with not many levels to play.”
- “It looks pretty, but the gameplay is too simplistic to offer any intrinsic entertainment, and there's no narrative or other such reward to make it worth sitting through.”
- “I looked through the reviews and saw people saying the game was buggy and not fun, but personally, I do not agree. The game lacks mechanics such as invulnerability after getting hit, like invincibility frames, and options to disable screen shake. It needs some improvements and maybe new assets, such as different trees to replace the ones that slightly float when in front of the camera. Additionally, giving the monster enemies some frames of turning before instantly going in the opposite direction could fix some of the issues. If these problems that cause the most harm when playing were fixed or altered, I would say the game could be worth buying, but as it stands, it's now free.”

- “Especially surprised by the pretty well-designed graphics and great music throughout the game.”
- “The soundtrack helps immerse you into playing the game, almost giving a sense of playfulness like you are a child re-experiencing the world around you. However, during the rain sections, the noise can feel overwhelming, making my nose feel stuffy.”
