The gameplay in "Robot Wants Ice Cream" is praised for its variety and depth, featuring multiple modes such as 'easy', 'classic', and 'remix', each offering distinct mechanics and challenges. Players appreciate the smooth implementation of a monetization system, nostalgic graphics, and the inclusion of gameplay modifiers and alternate characters that enhance replayability. However, some users noted minor issues, such as screen glitches, which detracted from the overall experience.
- “The remix versions allowed the dev to explore every mechanic and power-up in the game, while the easy mode served as a nice intro to each game.”
- “The different available versions of the games are all pretty good and complement each other: 'easy' introduces you to the concepts, 'classic' provides faithful yet improved recreations of the flash games, and 'remix' will kick your butt and introduce new mechanics.”
- “But gameplay-wise, it's not worth it.”
- “Each one has vastly different gameplay mechanics from the others, but they all begin with you starting with almost nothing, sometimes including no jumping power.”
- “There's also harder level remixes of every game, mutators to change the gameplay, different robot characters to play as, and some really fun side games to unlock.”

Reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be both tedious and necessary, with players often spending significant time collecting resources like confetti or gold.

Overall, the experience of grinding varies, with some players enjoying the process while others feel it detracts from the gameplay.
- “New levels and new versions of old games are terrible; you can't play classic games right away and have to spend hours grinding.”
- “And it also has me grinding for 20 minutes to collect 1000 confetti.”
- “Only buy if you want to play Robot Wants Justice and are willing to put up with the grindy nature of the currency system; the other games are playable for free in flash emulators.”
