The graphics in the game are praised for their impressive quality, especially with ray tracing enabled, creating aesthetically pleasing visuals. However, the overall design is described as simplistic and reminiscent of a children's game, lacking depth compared to previous titles from the developer.
- “Graphics are incredible when you enable ray tracing!”
- “This game is cute enough to create some really aesthetically pleasing ponies and take care of them now and then, just for fun.”
- “This game is basically just a bland My Little Pony caretaking and clicker game with just enough changes to avoid a lawsuit from Hasbro, but it was cute enough to make some really aesthetically pretty ponies and take care of them now and then, just for fun.”
- “If you like the violence aspect from previous games from this developer, there is a game called 'Joy Pony' which is an old version of this game that is much better optimized for PC, where you can take care of your pony for as long as possible, customize and make your own with adjustable graphics.”

The monetization in this game is criticized for being poorly implemented, featuring ads for gem rewards that are ineffective due to a broken reward system and a malfunctioning timer. Additionally, the game is seen as a low-quality port of a mobile title, further detracting from the overall experience.
- “This is a cheap port of the mobile game, which still offers you ads to gain gems (which you can get via mining in this version) and a reward system (present at the top right) that is completely broken.”
- “The timer does not deplete and ads do not play.”
