The graphics of the game are criticized for being simplistic and low-quality, with limited options for improvement beyond basic resolution scaling.

- “The music was nice and calm, and the visuals were pretty.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low-quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high-quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The gameplay is described as fun and engaging, particularly due to its unique mechanics like the color filter system, but it suffers from a lack of content, offering only 20-40 minutes of playtime.

Overall, it is considered worth the low price, but players desire more depth and variety.
- “The mechanics are actually really fun, and if there were more levels and more complexity to the mechanics, I could see it being a noteworthy puzzle game.”
- “There is also a color filter mechanic that you change to pass through blocks of that same color.”
- “Shovelware, decent 20-40 minutes worth of gameplay, then it's a waiting game for the Steam cards.”
- “Not enough gameplay.”
- “For the cheap price, I'd say it was worth it, but I hope these mechanics get fleshed out into a more advanced puzzle game in the future.”

The monetization practices of certain developers have been criticized as exploitative and unethical, with accusations of creating low-effort games by repurposing existing templates and assets solely for profit. This has led to claims of "shovelware" and cash grabs, as these developers are perceived to be flooding platforms like Steam with subpar products under multiple questionable accounts.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into daily indie game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
- “Big Black Bear, Imperium Game, Ltzinc, Repa Games, Thinkofgames, Whackakey Games (how many dodgy accounts are these shovelware pushers using? All traceable to the same identifiers, though...) have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts.”
