The gameplay of the game centers around a unique shrinking mechanic combined with time management and chemical puzzle-solving, offering an engaging and fast-paced experience. While praised for its clever design and customization options, it tends to become repetitive quickly due to limited variety and short playtime, with some players finding it tedious or lacking in narrative depth. Overall, it provides a fun but brief challenge, best enjoyed by those who appreciate focused puzzle and speedrunning elements.
- “The shrinking mechanic lies at the heart of Size Matters’ appeal.”
- “The sensation of shrinking is well-realized both visually and mechanically, creating an engaging feedback loop that merges urgency with exploration.”
- “The gameplay is fast-paced and chaotic in the best way possible, keeping you on your toes as you scramble around trying to complete tasks.”
- “Given that it's a ripoff of a free game and the gameplay lasts around 2 hours, repeating the same thing over and over, I would say don't buy it.”
- “Controls get frustrating (click targets are finicky as is the platforming) and the gameplay itself is tedious.”
- “Sure, the core gameplay and mechanics are solid, but the boredom I felt within only 2-3 hours of gameplay makes it hard for me to recommend this game.”

Replayability in the game is generally praised for its procedural generation, customizable difficulty settings, and multiple maps that encourage experimentation and challenge. While some players find the core concept repetitive after completing preset scenarios, the ability to adjust numerous parameters and create custom challenges extends its replay value. Overall, it offers a good level of replayability, especially for those who enjoy tweaking game options and exploring different strategies.
- “Despite its simplicity, the game’s tension and variety of possible solutions encourage experimentation and replay value.”
- “The game is based on replayability, and many elements of the game are randomized each session.”
- “A lot of sliders and options can significantly increase the replayability: gravity, size reduction curve, starting height, ending height, etc. There are also several maps which don't change the gameplay a lot, but it is still enough to make them unique and make the games different.”
- “Size matters offers short session gameplays, but not much replayability, so you probably will end up with 1-2 hours playtime max (unless you are an achievement hunter, then 4-5 hours).”
- “Took me about 2-3 hours to finish all 6 maps, and there isn't much in replayability.”
- “Unfortunately, the replayability is rather low, because the concept remains always the same.”

The game lacks a traditional story or narrative, focusing instead on gameplay mechanics and sandbox-style challenges.

- “The game came to me with its awesome story, as well as the genre in general; almost all simulators I really like, but this game has become my favorite.”
- “I am happy for the developers that they managed to create this tech demo of a video game where you walk around in a small room and, without much of an introduction or a storyline, just have to gather things that are randomly generated around this room and bring them to meaningless machines... but honestly?”
- “There isn't a story line or anything to progress.”
- “This game feels like a demo only. There is no story mode, single player campaign or anything like that.”
