  • It features a decent soundtrack that enhances the overall experience.
  • Unlocking achievements and the girls adds a layer of motivation for players who enjoy completionist challenges.
  • The gameplay heavily relies on luck, making it frustrating and often unfair, as players have little control over the board.
  • Graphics and character models are poorly rendered, leading to an overall lack of visual appeal.
  • The game lacks depth and variety, with repetitive mechanics and no significant challenges beyond the random placement of blocks.
  • music14 mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised, with many users highlighting it as the standout feature. Reviewers describe the soundtrack as relaxing and enjoyable, expressing a desire for it to be available as separate downloadable content. Overall, the music enhances the gaming experience, making it memorable even after completing the game.

    • “The generic outsourced music is by far the best part of the game.”
    • “This game has got some seriously good music on it.”
    • “Well after this game is long gone and completed, I'll still be using the music.”
    • “The music files are not in the game folder.”
    • “Please, dev, can you offer the music as separate content?”
    • “It's an okay background song for you to listen to.”
  • gameplay12 mentions

    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.”
  • replayability3 mentions

    The game offers decent replayability through various tasks, leaderboards, and achievements, making it a fun option for casual play. However, some users feel that replay value diminishes after completing all objectives, suggesting a potential for repetitiveness despite its entertaining nature. Overall, it serves well as a time-waster with simple puzzles.

    • “Quite an entertaining puzzle game with various tasks to accomplish, leaderboards, and good replayability.”
    • “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.”
    • “I don't know if there's much replayability after you've finished unlocking all the girls and achievements.”
    • “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.”
