SNIKS features a charming and colorful art style, with adorable characters and a pleasant soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience.
The game offers a well-paced difficulty curve, gradually introducing new mechanics and providing a satisfying challenge without being overly frustrating.
With 110 levels across 6 worlds, SNIKS provides a good amount of content, allowing players to enjoy casual puzzle-solving at their own pace.

The lack of an undo button can be frustrating, especially in later levels where fail states are introduced, making some puzzles feel unnecessarily difficult.
Some levels can feel claustrophobic or overly large, leading to a less enjoyable experience, particularly in the ice and cloud mechanics.
The sound effects can become grating over time, and the absence of volume control options for them detracts from the overall experience.
