The story is a lighthearted and familiar narrative centered around an ordinary slime character with a simple goal, which evolves into a more complex situation involving an infection. While the plot is detailed and takes unexpected turns, it ultimately remains unremarkable and is complemented by a focus on storytelling rather than challenging gameplay.
- “The plot is spelled out in great detail.”
- “The storyline will be familiar to many gamers.”
- “A short and silly story about a slime who wants to make babies but ends up in the middle of an infection.”
- “After a while, the plot takes an unexpected turn.”

The graphics of the game are characterized by outdated retro pixel art, which some players find lacks depth and quality despite options to adjust resolution. While the simplistic 2D visuals may appeal to fans of retro aesthetics, they are generally considered lackluster and offer little room for improvement. Overall, the graphics contribute to a nostalgic feel but may not satisfy those seeking modern visual fidelity.
- “The graphics are made in retro style, the controls are standard (up, down, left, right, jump and interaction button).”
- “Life of Slime is a 3rd person action game in which you have to live the whole life of a slime who was not taken to the university and he will have to merge into a harsh adult life (work as a cashier and a security guard, see new cities and meet unfamiliar slimes), and all this with nice pixel graphics and 8-bit and lo-fi music in the background.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”

- “Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing or polish done.”
- “This game is a platformer consisting of the most usual gameplay for this genre.”

The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized due to the presence of suspicious reviews, which appear to be generated by accounts that consistently promote direct purchases and write fake reviews for low-quality games, suggesting a potential cash grab or scam.
- “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with prices that seem designed to squeeze every last penny from players.”
- “I can't believe how many in-game purchases are required just to enjoy the game fully; it feels like a paywall at every turn.”
- “The constant push for microtransactions ruins the experience, making it feel more like a cash grab than a game.”
