While some appreciate the art style and find the game addictive, technical issues such as lag, crashes, and visual bugs detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the introduction of mechanics like "amnesia" is seen as disruptive, leading to frustration rather than enhancing gameplay.

- “Overall: I would recommend this game for its addicting gameplay and appealing visuals.”

The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players reporting that it is either non-functional or unengaging, often describing it as forgettable or annoying. Some users noted that the eerie atmosphere could have been enhanced with better music choices, while others found the existing tracks to be repetitive and low-quality, likening them to cheap Halloween sound effects. Overall, the consensus is that the music detracts from the experience rather than adding to it.
- “Amazing artwork and the music is pretty decent too.”
- “Honestly never thought I would be one for sitting here watching a game, but I find the art style and backgrounds, combined with the creepy music and screams, make for a mesmerizing few hours.”
- “The art is nice and the music and sound is eerie, but being a clicker, I'm not sure how much of it you'll appreciate as you'll be mostly just running this in afk mode very likely.”
- “The sound and music don't work, so you're stuck in an awkward silent limbo. The backgrounds refuse to load, and for whatever reason, you only get the same five monster designs over and over instead of the several dozens you'd be able to see way back when.”
- “The music in this game is so forgettable that I turned it off and listened to better things instead.”
- “The 'music' is just scratching on a wooden board, and to top it off, the game is so unbalanced that it's becoming very clear what the dev wants you to do.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many reviewers labeling it as overly aggressive and reminiscent of a cash grab. Players express frustration over the heavy reliance on microtransactions, which can make progression feel artificially slow and often necessitate spending real money to advance. While some appreciate the free-to-play model, the pervasive in-game purchases and the grindy nature of the gameplay detract from the overall experience.
- “Being a free-to-play game, there are in-game purchases, but it's not thrown into your face unlike other free-to-play games on the market.”
- “I like that there is a more horror-themed version of clicker heroes and I do not mind the microtransactions, but the big flaw of this game is that it cannot be played completely offline.”
- “While free-to-play games often include in-game purchases, the aggressive implementation here can be off-putting.”
- “The real issue lies in the game's monetization strategy and balance.”
- “Insanity Clicker leans heavily into microtransactions, making progression feel artificially slow without purchases.”
- “This game was fun at first, then came several cash grab updates; now if you want to progress, you have no choice but to either spend 2000+ hours or pay real money to get to where you used to be able to get within 500 or less hours.”

Additionally, concerns about balance and the impact of microtransactions on the grinding experience have been raised, suggesting that while the game can be fun initially, it may become monotonous over time.
- “The game isn't difficult, but is rather tedious and lengthy, as you would/should expect from a clicker.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players expressing a desire for a more substantial narrative to accompany the gameplay. While there are hints of backstories for certain characters and a minimal storyline to provide context, the overall consensus is that the game fails to deliver a compelling or engaging plot, leaving players feeling disconnected from the experience. Some appreciate the potential for inspiration in its themes and visuals, but ultimately, the absence of a meaningful story detracts from the game's appeal.
- “The game introduces a variety of upgrades, minions, and even a semblance of a storyline to provide some sense of purpose beyond mindless clicking.”
- “Also, I would like to point out that many of these monsters have backstories you can find out if you buy the collector's edition.”
- “If this game had some backstory on why you are here and provided a plot on why we are killing those monsters.”
- “I wish I understood the sanity disorders and some other stuff better and that there was some semblance of an underlying story with the idle clicker.”
- “Unlike most clicker games that suck you in either with story or engaging features, this game has none of that.”

The game's atmosphere is predominantly dark and eerie, effectively immersing players in a sinister setting reminiscent of a grim mental asylum. While the sound design enhances the sense of dread, some players feel that the lack of engaging music detracts from the overall experience, with a desire for more impactful audio elements. Overall, the atmosphere is unsettling and unique, distinguishing it from lighter clicker games, though opinions vary on its effectiveness in creating a truly terrifying experience.

- “The sound design adds to the atmosphere, with the eerie sounds of the hospital and the unnerving noises of the enemies contributing to a sense of dread.”

- “This is a major issue since sound design is key in building the horror atmosphere.”
- “Insanity Clicker offers a unique spin on the clicker game genre by infusing it with dark and macabre themes, creating an unsettling atmosphere that's a departure from the more lighthearted clicker games out there.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting significant bugs, glitches, and performance issues that hinder gameplay, such as freezing, missing icons, and a problematic user interface.

- “I appreciate how stable the game is; it consistently performs well without any interruptions.”
- “I somehow like the game but it's full of bugs... almost all the icons are missing or the game can't load them, like the background image is always black until you reopen the game. It's simply a clicker game that looks like a copy of Clicker Heroes, but the horror-gore style is cool. I can't suggest the game since it looks so buggy and is poor in content; the bosses are all the same (for real, the same PNG for every boss).”
- “The game drives me insane with the lags and glitches!”
- “Buggy like hell (unplayable degree)”

Overall, the humor significantly contributes to the game's charm and addictive quality.
- “The humor lands, the systems stack well, and for an idle/clicker game, it punches way above its weight in personality.”
- “If you like big numbers, dark humor, sinful progression, and starting over stronger after wiping your own memory—this game will absolutely ruin your free time in the best way possible.”
- “It is a really funny game :)”

- “Still, despite that soul-crushing hard stop, Insanity Clicker is wildly fun, self-aware, and dangerously replayable.”
- “It feels more engaging and has great replayability compared to other clicking games for multiple reasons.”
- “It's also a lot simpler than other games of the same genre and has less replay value, so there's that too.”
- “Fantastic art with fun gameplay that really opens up when you hit level 100; at that point, you can unlock illnesses and clothes that give Insanity Clicker a lot of replay value.”

- “The game occasionally suffers from performance issues, bugs, and crashes, which can be frustrating and disrupt the limited enjoyment that the game offers.”
- “Very, very poorly optimized.”
- “For reference, I can run AdCap, Clicker Heroes, Crusaders of the Lost Idols, Idling to Rule the Gods (not in AFK mode), Time Clickers, and browse the web on Firefox simultaneously without running into problems, but as soon as I open this game, my PC starts stuttering.”
