The game's graphics are criticized for their low quality, featuring simplistic, cartoony 2D visuals reminiscent of low-effort mobile apps, with no options for resolution or customization. While there is a variety of patterns and colors available, the overall presentation fails to meet the expectations of PC gamers accustomed to high-quality visuals, reflecting a lack of skill and resources in 3D graphics development.
- “The graphics are enjoyable and the list of patterns, shapes, and colors to choose from is rather extensive.”
- “3D graphics programming does require a degree of skill and competence, and unfortunately not all developers have the budget or talent to deliver this.”
- “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
- “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The game's stability is severely compromised by numerous bugs, particularly in the later levels, leading to frustrating glitches that can render the game unplayable and require restarts. This instability detracts significantly from the overall experience.
- “The campaign is incredibly buggy, which kills all the charm of this game.”
- “It's buggy to the point of being unplayable.”
- “Especially in the later levels, when you finish 5 hard pots out of 6, the game glitches out in the last one, forcing you to restart the level or even the game. There are multiple bugs that can make levels unfinishable.”

The gameplay is generally fun and simple, featuring two modes: a creative mode that allows free combination of shapes and a campaign mode with 25 levels requiring players to replicate randomly generated items. While the mechanics remain consistent across both modes, the experience is engaging and accessible, with no critical flaws reported.
- “+ fun & simple gameplay”
- “I usually don't rate games down unless there is some critical bug or flaw in the gameplay that makes it unbearable.”
- “There are two game modes available, but the mechanics are exactly the same, whether you play the 'creative' mode (free choice of combining shapes/patterns) or the 'campaign' mode, which consists of a series of 25 levels, each requiring you to replicate between 1 and 7 randomly generated items based on their images provided on the left side of the screen.”

story

The game lacks a cohesive story, as players are immediately placed in a workshop without any narrative context to connect the levels in the campaign mode. While the graphics and customization options are praised, the repetitive gameplay and short campaign duration leave players feeling that the experience is not worth the price, especially given the need for additional content and fixes.
- “There isn't really a story to the game; the moment you start the campaign, you are thrown into your workshop to work on the pottery.”
- “The graphics are enjoyable and the list of patterns, shapes, and colors to choose from is rather extensive, but sadly, the campaign mode does not offer a background story to link these individual levels.”
- “Given the repetitive nature of the game and its length (if one doesn't go for 100% achievements), which is around 2 hours for the campaign mode, I'd say that the price is a bit too steep, also taking into consideration that the game still needs some problems fixed and a bit more content story-wise.”
grinding

Players note that while the "creative" mode lacks challenge, it does involve some grinding to achieve specific goals, such as crafting 100 pots for an achievement.
- “While the 'creative' mode does not present any challenge, it does require a bit of grinding if one wants to obtain the corresponding achievement of crafting 100 pots.”
