    The gameplay of the game has received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating its focus on strategy and flow, while others criticize the lack of engaging mechanics and rewards, particularly in relation to boss encounters. Many suggest that the game could benefit from reworking certain mechanics to enhance player experience, such as incorporating features like undo options and rewarding skillful moves like spins. Overall, while the minimalist design and slower pace allow for thoughtful gameplay, there are calls for additional polish and features to better align with player expectations from puzzle and roguelike genres.

    • “The core gameplay loop revolves around placing blocks onto a confined grid and triggering line clears, but Stackflow distinguishes itself through its emphasis on flow and synergy rather than simple survival.”
    • “This minimalist presentation pairs well with the game’s mechanics, keeping attention focused on strategy rather than spectacle.”
    • “Very polished gameplay, visuals, and sound effects, and welcomes both beginners and advanced players.”
    • “The perks don't provide any kind of change in gameplay or really feel like a reward for beating these boss rounds.”
    • “If I wanted to play Tetris, I'd rather just play normal Tetris, without these insane scoring requirements and clunky boss mechanics; simply reversing your controls does not make for engaging gameplay.”
    • “There's no way to really edit music, the rotation system is extremely limited, and there's a very punishing accident-prone gameplay here in terms of accidentally double pressing something.”
  • music

Overall, while the music may not appeal to everyone, it contributes to a unique experience that some players enjoy.

    • “The low-rez graphics and low-fi music make it feel like a haunted arcade game on the counter of some dive bar, right next to the balatro terminal.”
    • “The different builds (especially magic and music) are very fun and I feel like you can develop your own playstyle.”
    • “The type of music that would be more at home in a fighting game.”
    • “My partner and I turned off the music and played a Graham Kartna album instead, and the experience was so much better.”
    • “The low-rez graphics and low-fi music make it feel like a haunted arcade game on the counter of some dive bar, right next to the Balatro terminal.”
