The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it clunky and simplistic, making it feel almost unplayable at times. While some appreciate the improvements in mechanics and the introduction of unique challenges, others feel that the overall experience remains average and lacks depth. Despite its flaws, the game is considered tolerable by some, particularly due to its engaging story and likable characters.
- “For gameplay, it is quite good in the sense that it is easy to play.”
- “Because the game has a great story and gameplay.”
- “I hope that such improvement continues, and when they make this kind of game again, it is something that can be enjoyed for its gameplay alone.”
- “The movement and clunky design, not to mention the basic gameplay, makes this game almost unplayable.”
- “The difference between weapons may not be immediately obvious, but it lies in the range and the time it takes to use them during which you are vulnerable to enemy attacks, which might be a source of annoyance rather than an element of gameplay to some people.”
- “Although many of the game mechanics are clumsily implemented, it is at least good that the developers showed some improvements by adding stages that take more advantage of the equipment mechanic and the unique characteristics of weapons by introducing invisible enemies or breakable rocks in the recent update.”

The game's story is a unique blend of comedy and drama, diverging from the anime by introducing new plot elements, such as a tragic accident involving the characters' family. While the narrative effectively explores the origins of certain elements and character relationships, some players feel it lacks depth in explaining key backstories, particularly regarding the absence of the main characters' parents. Overall, the story is praised for its engaging gameplay and animation, but there are calls for further development to enhance emotional resonance.
- “The game features a decent, crazy comedy anime story with surprisingly good animation, art, and voice acting.”

- “I think that the story could have been made better by explaining who Kaki (the beach girl in episode 6) was or what happened to Null and Peta's parents, who are mysteriously absent in both the game and the anime. This would certainly have enhanced the emotional side of the story, though I am content to see the origin of the bugs explained and learn more about Null and Peta's sisters.”
- “The story in this game aims to destroy the source of the troubles that occur at that location.”
