The gameplay has been widely criticized for being overly reliant on luck rather than skill, leading to a frustrating and uninspired experience. Players noted a lack of engaging mechanics and variety, with many feeling that the game could have been more enjoyable with additional features to enhance strategy. Overall, the consensus is that the gameplay is disappointing and not worth the full price.
- “I got this with a voucher and honestly I wish I didn't, but the gameplay is alright.”
- “This game could easily be more interesting if they gave you any mechanic at all that would let you get yourself out of a jam.”
- “I got this for something like 90% off so I don't regret it, but at full price; there are games which do this type of gameplay far better.”
- “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. Without any sort of mechanic to change a piece's color, it creates an infuriating and unfair experience.”
- “Bad gameplay; as stated in the store page's description, it's a match four gems, not match three, and it only counts the straight lines. Connecting them at an angle doesn't accomplish anything.”

- “Don't know if there's much replayability to it after you've finished unlocking all the girls and all the achievements though.”
- “A nice time waster, a minimalistic and very simple puzzle with some replayability, especially when you have to waste some minutes with plenty of achievements too, maybe somehow repetitive but it's okay for its price!”
