OxRox is a faithful remake of the original RoX, capturing its nostalgic charm while refining the gameplay for modern players.
The addition of new bonus levels and features like leaderboards and Steam Workshop for custom levels enhances the overall experience and replayability.
The game runs smoothly on multiple platforms and retains the original mechanics, making it accessible and enjoyable for both old fans and newcomers.

Some players miss the original game's surreal menus and fonts, feeling that the remake loses some of its old-school vibe.
The game could benefit from clearer explanations of certain mechanics, as some players found specific moves required for bonus levels to be confusing.
The menu interface is considered cluttered by some, which may detract from the overall user experience.

The gameplay retains familiar mechanics like digging and puzzle-solving while benefiting from updated physics and visuals, creating a fresh experience. Although two previously annoying mechanics were removed, one spider-related move lacks proper explanation, which could hinder players in bonus levels. Overall, the game successfully honors its original gameplay while enhancing it.
- “I love how the familiar mechanics of digging, avoiding rocks, and solving puzzles remain intact, but the updated physics and sleek visuals make it feel fresh.”
- “The recreation of Rox, Oxrox feels true to its original in terms of gameplay, controls, object behavior, etc.”
- “They show how much this game has to offer with the same existing mechanics.”
- “The one sole criticism I have is that one particular mechanic (a spider-related move) is never properly explained, yet required for a few bonus levels.”
- “There are two mechanics that weren't implemented (spiders laying eggs + the 'time limit' thing from original level 52), but those mechanics were kind of annoying and dumb anyway, and I personally am glad to see them gone.”

Overall, the music aspect is well-received, with a strong yearning for more classic tracks.
- “Top old school game, nice extra developer levels and original music on top!”
- “I'm really glad the original soundtrack is an available option, though I still miss the iconic main theme - it would be great if it could be added in a future update as main menu and level completion music!”
- “Suggestion: put a 'mix' option so we can have both the original game music and the CD ones!”
- “I would love to see the original version 1.2 soundtracks.”
