The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it for being uninteresting, repetitive, and visually unappealing, leading to frustration and a lack of engagement. Others found it to be a casual and relaxing experience, though overall, many noted that the gameplay feels shallow and lacks depth.
“Interesting mechanics.”
“A fun casual game with generally relaxing gameplay.”
“It has at least some gameplay.”
“It's worth noting the asset pack has been reskinned but the gameplay is the same, and it looks a lot to me like the assets dumped onto the engine in this case have also been stolen off the internet.”
“None of them are tied to gameplay, just let it idle at the main menu, close the game at any point, and the timer starts over.”
“There appear to be 20 stages on the world map, but I only managed to get to stage 15 before calling the game quits; there is literally nothing besides the subpar gameplay.”

The music in the game is widely criticized for being a repetitive and droning loop that detracts from the overall experience, with many players expressing a desire to mute it due to its unpleasantness. While the main menu features some songs, the lack of an option to turn off the in-game music further frustrates users, making it advisable to play with the sound off. Overall, the music is considered a significant negative aspect of the game.
“Suspenseful music plays on a short, infinite loop as a static image of an anime girl with a rifle and a medic cross on her sleeve silently judges you for playing what is at the same time one of the most boring, worst designed, and most offensive match 3 games ever made.”
“The music is not easy on the ears and there’s no option to turn it off, so it’s better played with the sound off.”
“Also, you cannot turn off the music.”
