The gameplay of "Sweeper" attempts to innovate on the classic minesweeper formula but struggles to meet expectations, with some players feeling that new mechanics complicate rather than enhance the experience. While the charming visuals and casual gameplay appeal to fans of the original, the departure from traditional rules leaves others feeling disoriented and dissatisfied. Overall, the game offers a nostalgic yet polarizing take on a beloved classic.
- “A lovely take on the beloved classic minesweeper with very charming sprite work. This feels like something that belongs to an old school PC era. It has a casual, lovely, chill gameplay, so if you are a fan of the original minesweeper you used to play with pinball or solitaire, I highly recommend it. I hope they include achievements in the future.”

The graphics have been criticized as poorly executed pixel art, leading to a negative perception of the game's visual quality. While some players argue that similar games have succeeded despite subpar graphics, the overall sentiment suggests that the visuals detract from the experience rather than enhance it.
- “This features really godawful pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
