The gameplay is praised for its innovative mechanics that enhance the traditional point-and-click experience, such as time manipulation and character item exchanges, reminiscent of classics like "Day of the Tentacle" and "Maniac Mansion." While puzzles are generally easy, they offer satisfying "a-ha!" moments, and the overall presentation—including voice acting, graphics, and humor—contributes to an engaging and enjoyable experience. However, some users noted a weaker interface and limited content in the DLC.
- “It has many features that alleviate any of the old-school point & click games' annoyances, and many cool (yet not unheard of) gameplay mechanics (like how events in the past change future events, playing with multiple characters and exchanging items between them, asking for in-game hints, etc.) that also elevate it from most generic games of this kind.”
- “Now for the good part, the gameplay is in the vein of Day of the Tentacle, with multiple protagonists separated in the same village but in different eras, swapping inventory items.”
- “The story and time mechanic kept us entertained and interested, while all the little easter eggs and references made me point at the screen and then spend a few minutes explaining.”
- “This DLC is just a code which unlocks very little gameplay (I didn't try everything but I also didn't find much), and said achievement.”
- “Reminded me of a cross between Maniac Mansion (visually) with the gameplay/puzzles being similar to the two latest Leisure Suit Larry games (but the content in Justin Wack is of course more 'PG'!).”
- “The gameplay is relatively easy, with a few a-ha! moments, but it lacks depth and challenge.”
