Overall, opinions are mixed, with some finding it enjoyable and others deeming it a poor investment.

- “The game has you click on groups of gems in order to clear them, rather than the standard match-3 type of gameplay.”
- “In general, a decent game with pleasant gameplay, not bad graphics, good soundtrack.”

The monetization strategy has been criticized as a cash grab, with a $13 price tag deemed excessive for a game that can be played for free, especially given the locked resolution.
- “Resolution is locked, and of course, you can play match-3 games for free, so it's impossible to suggest anyone should pay the crazy cash grab $13 price tag for this.”
