The gameplay is heavily criticized for its simplistic 2D static interface, likening it to a web page, which detracts from the experience. Players face significant strain due to the repetitive nature of the mechanics, leading to discomfort during extended play sessions, and it is suggested that using mouse recording software may alleviate some of the physical strain. Overall, the game is not recommended for those familiar with similar idle games.
- “Oh yes, to circumvent the quick gameplay issue, this game added HP that increases with every upgrade, so you really have to focus a lot of effort on damage and gold boosts to avoid wrist injury while trying to progress through this.”
- “This game I do not recommend if you've played idle shapes... it will just give you a wrist ache trying to progress. If you're determined to play through, I would recommend getting some mouse recording software to drag across the screen because your wrist will get tired in about 5 minutes of gameplay.”

Reviewers criticize Pixel Slayer's monetization as a cash grab, deeming its $4 price tag unjustifiable due to the game's defects and shortcomings, especially when compared to the abundance of free, higher-quality alternatives available on Steam.
