The gameplay features a simplistic match-3 mechanic set in a pastel spring theme, which some find lacks uniqueness compared to other games in the genre. However, it is complemented by vibrant visuals, cheerful music, and engaging power-ups, leading to an overall positive reception of its solid mechanics.

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users pointing out the high price of $7.50 for a low-quality product that lacks basic features like widescreen support. In contrast, another game in the same genre is praised for its clean design and absence of microtransactions or ads, highlighting a more player-friendly approach.
“Reskinning the same core game asset and pretending it's a new game fits squarely into the 'asset flip' classification as this is a pure cash grab.”
“The spring bonus has a laughable, eye-watering cash grab price of around $7.50 USD (for a garbage game that doesn't even have widescreen support!), for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam.”
