The gameplay is characterized by its engaging and intuitive mechanics, offering a mix of strategic depth and real-time management that captivates players. While many appreciate the simplicity and addictive nature of the mechanics, some express concerns about unforgiving elements and bugs that disrupt the experience. Overall, the game successfully combines charming graphics with challenging gameplay, though there are suggestions for improvements in micromanagement and upgrade systems.
- “Meditative, minimalistic gameplay.”
- “From the moment I started playing, I was captivated by the game's intuitive mechanics and engaging gameplay.”
- “Its engaging gameplay, strategic depth, and nostalgic visuals make it a standout title in the genre.”
- “I would like to recommend the devs to do something about the unforgiving gameplay; for example, the runway gets smaller as the area gets larger, so I would suggest to help the player a little bit with placing airplanes on the runway. If they don't fit, the game just won't let you instead of failing you instantly when you let go of the mouse button to place a plane on the runway to take off.”
- “Other minor frustrations like planes having a really stupidly large turning radius can be explained away since the turning speed is an upgrade, but it's still really forced and not fun gameplay.”
- “As far as the gameplay, it's 100% micromanagement from start to end.”

The graphics of the game evoke a nostalgic feel reminiscent of late '90s simulation titles, with a clean and charming aesthetic that appeals to players. However, many reviewers noted the striking similarity to the art style of the "mini" series, leading to concerns about originality and potential confusion among players. While the simple graphics are generally considered easy on the eyes, some technical issues, such as UI problems in fullscreen mode, were also highlighted.

- “"Mini Airways" is an addictive air traffic control simulation that combines charming graphics with challenging gameplay.”

- “Discovering this isn't by the mini metro devs ruined it for me -- the aesthetic is extremely similar, the clock asset looks like it's straight up copied.”
- “I was so confused until I realized this is not the mini metro devs. The aesthetic is so close that I honestly wonder if they're hoping to get money and attention from people's confusion, rather than the merits of their own design.”
