The gameplay has been widely criticized for being uninspired and overly reliant on luck, with many players finding it non-engaging and frustrating due to a lack of meaningful mechanics. The match-four gem system is seen as limiting, and the inclusion of characters feels unnecessary rather than enhancing the experience. Overall, the consensus is that the game fails to deliver a satisfying or skill-based gameplay experience, leaving players disappointed.
- “My only complaint in the game would be that the girls are completely unnecessary for me. I really enjoyed the game's style, but I do see that the girls at least added variety to the gameplay, with each having their own set of challenges.”
- “I got this for something like 90% off, so I don't regret it, but at full price, there are games that do this type of gameplay far better.”
- “Overall, I wouldn't recommend this. Maybe if there were more features that balanced the gameplay out a little bit, I could get behind giving this a thumbs up, but there isn't, and the random gameplay just isn't fun.”
- “The gameplay is terrible, not giving you any sense of how the puzzle actually works. The gimmick is pointless, with dead-eyed uncanny valley models that are supposedly meant to be sexy but just come off as creepy and worse than poorly rendered garbage found on DeviantArt. Overall, it's just a pathetic exercise.”
- “The gameplay isn't good and it could've been, but instead of being a game based on skill, it is based entirely on luck. You place a piece anywhere on the board and the game will place a random piece somewhere else on the board, which can block off matches you could've had and creates an infuriating and unfair experience.”
- “Gameplay is based almost entirely on random luck.”

- “It's a nice time waster, a minimalistic and very simple puzzle with some replayability, especially when you have to kill some time with plenty of achievements too, but it can feel somewhat repetitive.”
