The gameplay is criticized for being clunky, slow, and overly simplistic, making it feel more suitable for children, though it fails to engage even that audience. While the music and sound effects are noted for their soothing quality, they do little to enhance the overall experience, which many reviewers found lacking.
“Gameplay is straightforward and self-explanatory.”
“I usually turn off music in games, but in this game the music is discreetly ambient and is integrated very well with the extremely soothing gameplay sound effects.”
“In fact, writing this review had more 'gameplay' than this so-called game has.”
“The gameplay is clunky and slow.”
“This could possibly be more of a children's game - except that the colors, graphics, and gameplay won't keep the interest of a child either.”

The graphics of the game have been criticized for lacking resolution options and meaningful tweaks, leading to a visually unimpressive experience that does not meet the expectations of PC gamers. Reviewers suggest that the graphics may be more suitable for a children's game, yet they fail to engage even that audience effectively. Overall, the game's visual presentation is seen as subpar and uninspired.
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“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.”
“This could possibly be more of a children's game - except that the colors, graphics, and gameplay won't keep the interest of a child either.”
