The graphics in the game are praised for their diverse and charming art styles, with each chapter offering a unique aesthetic that enhances the overall experience.

“The devs mimic the cute graphics of unpacking, adding their own flair and music, and I like the idea of books as chapters to play through.”

The gameplay of "Looks Good!" is characterized by its charming aesthetic and a mix of organizing and puzzle-solving mechanics, reminiscent of "A Little to the Left." While some players appreciate the variety, others find certain puzzles unclear and the hint system unhelpful, with a lack of straightforward options for replaying levels that have multiple solutions. Overall, the game offers a casual experience but may frustrate those seeking clarity and ease of navigation.
“Looks good! It's supposed to be a casual game with a charming aesthetic, reminiscent of 'A Little to the Left.' It features various art styles and gameplay, including organizing, storing, arranging, and puzzles.”
“I didn't mind them, but I also enjoy Sudoku, KenKen, etc. I do agree that they are somewhat different from the other puzzles in the game, both mechanically and visually.”
“Some of the puzzles were just unclear, and the hints are just the solutions. There is no clear mechanic to replay levels that have multiple solutions without quitting back out and re-selecting the level.”
“Some of the puzzles were just... unclear as all get out, the hints are just the solutions, there is no clear mechanic to replay levels that have multiple solutions without quitting back out and re-selecting the level.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous reports of persistent glitches and bugs that disrupt gameplay, particularly in certain levels. Players express frustration over being unable to progress despite completing tasks correctly, leading to a generally negative experience. Many hope for future patches to address these issues, but current stability concerns are a significant drawback.
“Maybe if they patched the glitches in an update it could be worth it, but this has left such a sour experience I think I'll just pass.”
“Some levels are buggy as hell; even though you have everything right, it won't let you move on unless you do the whole thing again.”
“For some reason, after 5 books of good art, puzzles, and theming (the medieval one is the best by far for all 3 of those), you then have to look at the same grey squares on a white background while dragging numbers to fill in other grey squares, which are buggy as hell at the best of times.”

The game has limited replayability due to its short length and the fact that most levels offer only a single solution, resulting in a lack of varied experiences upon replaying.
“The game is also pretty short, and most of the levels only have one way to solve them, so there's not a ton of replayability.”
