The gameplay is criticized for being repetitive and lacking depth, with only one level and a limited variety of enemies and power-ups. While some players find the simple mechanics addictive and enjoy features like the kissing mechanic, many feel that the focus on graphics and unlockable content detracts from the core gameplay experience. Overall, the game offers enough bonus content to keep players engaged, but it falls short in delivering a robust gameplay experience.
“Simple gameplay but with enough bonus content to keep you entertained and coming back for more.”
“I'm surprised I've spent as much time playing it as I have, considering there really isn't much there when you strip it all down to the core gameplay.”
“The gameplay is super addictive...and I love the kissing mechanic!”
“Only one tiny level and the same gameplay over and over.”
“It's pretty clear the developers spent most of their time working on the graphics, unlockable characters, unlockable music, item upgrades, etc., but they didn't spend enough time where it really counts - the gameplay.”

The music in the game is praised for its quality and lively theme, contributing to an enjoyable atmosphere.

“I'm not sure when in the gaming zeitgeist unlocking hats and other nonsense took a front seat to core gameplay, but this is where 'Carrots and Blood' suffers - there is only one arena; only a few power-ups that aren't well thought-out; only 5 enemy types; repetitive music that sounds absolutely amazing but can only loop for so long before you go crazy.”
