The gameplay in this title is generally criticized for being simplistic, repetitive, and often buggy, with many players noting that it lacks depth and engagement. While some appreciate the art and animations, they feel the gameplay is primarily a means to access the visual content rather than a compelling experience in its own right. Overall, it seems that the game is best suited for those seeking visual rewards rather than meaningful gameplay.
“Very well done CG and a fun half hour of whack-a-mole style gameplay, looking forward to the rest of the series.”
“Great game overall, besides being too short, the art is really great and the gameplay is fun.”
“Seek Girl is an arcade game, absolutely fantastic. The best way I can describe the gameplay is a boss rush game. I like the sound effects a lot, the main menu is sublime and also serves as the tutorial. More games need to learn how to do tutorials like this game does it—straightforward and simple. Casual players will like it a lot, with amazing unlockables and awesome animations.”
“If you're seeking gameplay... nope, nothing in here.”
“When you realize there aren’t so much as new visuals between levels, it’s difficult to stay motivated — the novelty of gameplay wears off in minutes.”
“The gameplay is vapid, vague, and buggy.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it relaxing and enjoyable, while others describe it as forgettable or mediocre. The soundtrack features specific themes for each character, and while the sound effects are generally not annoying, the overall composition is seen as a patchwork of various sources rather than a cohesive original score. Visuals are praised alongside the music, but the quality of the audio experience varies significantly among players.
“It's simple and relaxing with good music and great artwork, even with the DLC and adult patch.”
“The music is actually pretty enjoyable, the art is just wonderful (the movie images could be a bit better), and did I already mention the art style?”
“The music, the sound effects...do yourself a favor, avoid this one, and god forbid you buy it like me, turn the sound off.”
“Overall, it seems like a semi-lazy job of lifting art, voice assets and music from other most obscure places and making a mish-mash with them.”
“I forgot the music already.”
