The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, with many reviewers praising its quality and ability to enhance the overall atmosphere.

- “After playing a few hours, I turned off the music just so it does not get burned in my brain.”
- “On the other hand, although the soundtrack is composed of a few synthesized (sometimes melancholic) melodies with some effects mixed in-between, they won't really urge you to mute them as you try to figure out the solution to a certain level.”
- “I am not very musical so I don't know how to describe it: kind of electronic, synthy, chill but very catchy.”

The combination of straightforward mechanics and thoughtful level design results in a rewarding experience filled with "aha" moments and creative problem-solving.
- “I feel like I say this in a lot of puzzle game reviews, but this game has just a few seemingly simple mechanics and a relatively small possibility space for moves, but manages to still do a lot with them and be surprisingly challenging.”
- “Cleverly designed puzzles with unique mechanics that progressively get harder, accompanied by high quality, crunchy pixel art and a surprisingly good soundtrack.”
- “The game mechanics are easy to understand, and the core gameplay is delightfully simple.”
- “There is nothing new here in terms of mechanics; you can move boxes and other similar stuff.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it's a pretty standard spatial puzzle game with no platforming or dexterity required of any kind.”
- “I would say the only negative I noted was when I first started playing it was a little difficult to discern some gameplay elements due to the fairly pixelated artwork.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their charming pixel art style and detailed visuals, contributing to a nostalgic and relaxing experience. However, some players noted that the heavy pixelation can make certain gameplay elements difficult to discern, and the moving backgrounds may cause discomfort for sensitive players. Overall, the art style and soundtrack are highlighted as significant strengths, enhancing the game's aesthetic appeal.
- “The visuals are charming and full of detail.”
- “Just like the beautiful pixel graphics and the excellent soundtrack.”
- “The soundtrack and detailed visuals combine to create a nice chill vibe.”
- “My major gripe is the visuals and sound.”
- “The developer unfortunately subscribes to the 'more pixels = better visuals' school of visual design, so the screen is a huge, unclear mess of pixels by default.”
- “I would say the only negative I noted was when I first started playing it was a little difficult to discern some gameplay elements due to the fairly pixelated artwork.”
story

The game is praised for its lack of a traditional story, allowing players to focus solely on puzzles without distractions from dialogue or narrative. This minimalist approach evokes nostalgia for classic puzzle platformers, where the absence of a backstory encourages players to immerse themselves in the gameplay and their own interpretations of the game world.
- “As I look back with fondness on the days I'd lose myself in the enigmatic worlds of puzzle platformers—worlds with unique landscapes, where origins and backstory were left to the player's imagination—I find that Stuffo the Puzzle Bot brilliantly rekindles those same feelings.”
- “Also, I appreciate how there is no story and it's just purely puzzles, straight to the point.”
- “It doesn't have a story or dialogue getting in the way.”
- “I can't really complain, though, the description does say there's no story whatsoever.”

The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its forlorn quality, enhanced by meticulous pixel art and a haunting electro soundtrack reminiscent of classic sci-fi themes. Reviewers highlight the combination of engaging puzzles and immersive audio-visual elements as key components of the overall experience.
- “A lot of attention went into the atmosphere, which can be best described as 'forlorn,' between the pixel art effects and the haunting electro music (the style of which reminds me of 'A Spice Opera,' the soundtrack of the Dune game from 1992).”
- “Great game with very interesting puzzles and a great atmosphere (plus music).”
- “Great, atmospheric puzzler.”
