The gameplay of Stabby Cats is criticized for being shallow and lacking depth compared to its inspiration, Super Smash Bros, resulting in a lack of player engagement, with only 1-2 players logging in weekly. The retro pixel art style and cat theme do little to enhance the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as a disappointing and uninspired brawler.
- “Stabby Cats is a lazy 2D retro pixel arena brawler that rips off Super Smash Bros, but with far less depth and gameplay. The 2D retro pixel cat theme feels unnecessary, as that's not what the gaming industry really needed.”
- “Current gameplay numbers are around 1-2 players logging on per week, presumably to check out what the free game is, only to see how poor it is and then uninstall it.”

The graphics are characterized by a deliberate choice of outdated retro pixel art, which some players find unappealing compared to modern PC graphics. Additionally, the resolution and controls are fixed, limiting customization options and potentially detracting from the overall visual and gameplay experience.
- “A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “Resolution and controls are locked, and can't be changed or customized to improve the visuals or the control experience.”
