The gameplay in "Lovely Planet Remix" is characterized by its variety and challenge, introducing new mechanics and modes that enhance the experience, though some elements, like the arcade modes and certain collectables, are criticized for being poorly implemented. While the core gameplay remains solid and addictive, with a polished feel and engaging time trials, the lack of a comprehensive tutorial and some frustrating mechanics detract from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the game is recommended for fans of the series who appreciate fast-paced, varied gameplay, despite some inconsistencies in execution.
- “The gameplay, music, and aesthetics are all at the same level of quality as the original game.”
- “Fast gameplay and unique ideas.”
- “It offers so many creative modes and mechanics that, while some may not be for everyone, there is certainly something for everyone.”
- “Gameplay is back to basics, and each level set follows a new set of rules, be it a type of gun firing, physics of the gun, or whether the player can jump. The variety in the modes is definitely there, but the lack of a solid tutorial explaining these oddities lets the game down immensely. I didn't realize there was a dash jump in fortress levels for a decent amount of time, and the blink mechanic was very confusing to understand at first, leading to random deaths. The time trial and 100% accuracy requirements work well for this game, although the arcade modes feel very sloppy and thrown in without much effort since they're not really required apart from collectables. That's where this game completely dies; the collectables are absolutely abysmal and some of the worst I've ever seen in a game. They are untracked, hidden, sometimes forced to be collected in arcade mode, and just generally awful in every way. It didn't add anything, so it shouldn't have been included. It's a shame because the base game is great, but everything else really lets it down and ultimately soured my entire experience.”
- “I want to like this one, but this mode is where all the game's worst level design traits come into play. For whatever reason, this mode also tends to have exceptionally tight time trials mixed with its ultra-fast gameplay, making it unquestionably the hardest mode in the game.”
- “If most enemies didn't take three shots and the gameplay wasn't so aggressively twitch, I might've liked this one. This is frustrating to me, nearly quit during the second set of levels.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the catchy and phenomenal soundtrack, others feel it lacks standout tracks compared to earlier installments.

Ultimately, the soundtrack is highlighted as a significant aspect that enhances the gaming experience for many players.
- “Music - phenomenal and catchy as ever.”
- “Overall this game's aesthetic is something else, something that you will remember and with a soundtrack going so hard you'll listen to it everywhere.”
- “As good as the gameplay is, the soundtrack is probably even better.”
- “Music-wise, it's alright, but I feel it got too branched out, and because of it, none of the tracks stood out at all. I miss the days of the lovely forest in 1 and 2 being very outstanding tracks, and instead, I found myself shutting it off and listening to something else.”
- “The gameplay, music, and aesthetics are all at the same level of quality as the original game.”
- “Overall, this game's aesthetic is something else, something that you will remember, and with a soundtrack going so hard, you'll listen to it everywhere.”
