The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it catchy and enjoyable, while others feel it becomes repetitive quickly due to a limited selection of tracks. Many appreciate the upbeat and diverse background music, although some find it too loud or grating, especially when combined with the characters' vocalizations. Overall, while the soundtrack is generally seen as a positive aspect, its repetitiveness and the game's frantic pace can detract from the relaxing experience typically associated with solitaire games.
“The music is perfect, and the voice work is phenomenal.”
“The girls are cute, the voice acting is nice, the art is really good, the music is cool and catchy (especially the last stage music, so damn good).”
“The gameplay is addictive, and I genuinely loved the game's soundtrack.”
“This game would have had a decent soundtrack to help me in this task if it wasn’t for all of the awkward moaning and groaning that occurred every time the player finds a matching tile.”
“The music is rather loud and grating, but somehow fits the game.”
“Limited music variety; everything gets repetitive before finishing the first girl.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it frustrating due to a lack of a proper difficulty curve and the need to replay puzzles multiple times, while others appreciate its addictive nature and solid mechanics. The game features both 2D and 3D modes, appealing to fans of mahjong solitaire, though it is criticized for being simplistic and unoptimized. Overall, while the core gameplay is enjoyable, it may not satisfy those seeking a balanced challenge.
“Nice art, quality gameplay, acceptable music and sound effects, plenty of levels, plenty of waifus.”
“The gameplay is addictive, and I genuinely loved the game's soundtrack.”
“The gameplay is compelling, but simplistic.”
“This was a rather frustrating cycle to break, but I finally was able to beat the game after around 50 hours of gameplay due to this recurring issue.”
“It seems to me that either they don't understand how to make a game with a proper difficulty curve, or they're intentionally exploiting impossible gameplay to artificially inflate the playtime of their games.”
“After 30 attempts at one of Ayame's earlier stages (including two attempts where I literally got 'no more moves' after only 1 or 2 moves), I finally caved and enabled easy mode, where they remove the timer and give you a hint button and a shuffle button.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising it as the best plot in the series, while others criticize the lack of a meaningful narrative, describing it as non-existent or overly simplistic. Players express disappointment that the gameplay, which relies heavily on luck rather than skill, detracts from the overall experience, particularly in the context of progressing through the story. Overall, while some players appreciate the integration of character stories with gameplay, many feel that the execution falls short.
“Best plot in the series.”
“I play this for the story...”

The game offers limited replayability, primarily due to its short completion time of around 9 hours and a diminishing appeal after finishing the five stages. However, the randomized tile placement provides some incentive for repeated play, especially for players interested in unlocking all content. Suggestions for enhancing replay value include introducing a custom puzzle mode, additional levels, or a scoring system.
“On top of that, the tile placement is randomized, so there's considerable replay value for those who might find themselves inclined to play more than is necessary.”
“After clearing the five stages, it definitely loses appeal; I think a random puzzle shape generator would have increased the replay value for me.”
“Completed in 9 hours; little replay value.”
“After clearing the five stages, though, it definitely loses appeal; I think a random puzzle shape generator would have increased the replay value for me.”
“If this game is up for a sequel, try and add some replayability to it by adding a custom or random puzzle mode, more levels in general, or a scoring system based on time and tiles flipped.”

Reviewers express concerns about the monetization strategy, highlighting that the game's primary appeal lies in its assets, which raises questions about the value and fairness of its pricing model.
