The game offers a relaxing experience with 100 different levels and various objectives, making it a good option for casual play.
It features simple controls and is mouse-friendly, allowing players to enjoy the game without much hassle.
Despite its low budget, the game is surprisingly well-executed for what it is, providing a fun and addictive match-3 experience.

The game suffers from a lack of polish, with amateurish graphics, slow animations, and issues like hints blocking moves.
Many levels rely heavily on luck rather than skill, which can lead to frustration, especially in timed challenges.
The overall presentation feels bare-bones, with limited audio tracks and a lack of engaging content beyond the basic gameplay.

The story aspect of "Swipe Fruit Smash" is minimal and presented in a casual, lighthearted manner, featuring text in all caps and Comic Sans, which some players find off-putting due to spelling errors. While the lack of a backstory may not be a concern for casual gamers, the presentation choices have drawn criticism for detracting from the overall experience.

- “The story is practically non-existent, and the lack of backstory makes it feel shallow. It's hard to engage with a game that doesn't invest in its narrative.”
- “The dialogue is poorly written and lacks depth, making it difficult to connect with the characters or care about the outcome of the game.”
