The gameplay of Time Clickers is characterized by its simplicity and repetitive nature, typical of idle clicker games, where players click to progress and unlock upgrades. While some find the mechanics addictive and engaging, many reviewers note a lack of depth and variety, with midgame and endgame experiences feeling nearly identical. Overall, the game offers a straightforward experience that may appeal to fans of the genre but lacks the dynamic progression and innovation seen in other clicker titles.
- “Time Clickers offers a straightforward idle clicker experience with its simple gameplay mechanics and incremental progression.”
- “The gameplay is good.”
- “This is a fun, addictive free game with a fun gameplay experience and a fun and easy concept.”
- “The point of clicking/idling games is for gameplay loops to change and evolve with progression: time clickers does not achieve this, gameplay at midgame looks exactly the same as lategame, progression speed is nearly null (coming from a cookie clicker and NGU idle fan) and even endgame still does not look different than midgame.”
- “The main gameplay is pretty formulaic; you have your click weapon to manually damage blocks, and can unlock and level up to five different weapons to automatically damage blocks.”
- “The gameplay loop is fairly simple with little player agency.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its catchy and upbeat nature, which enhances the overall experience.

Overall, while the soundtrack is enjoyable and complements the game's aesthetic, a desire for more variety in the music is frequently expressed.

- “The music, colors, and autopilot ability are all excellent and make it pleasurable both visually and audio-wise.”

- “It's basically an indirect advertisement for two other games.”

- “I imagine if Time Clickers was not a game made by the same developer as Time Rifters, [which, first of all, might be copyright infringement if the aesthetic is identical], Time Clickers would indeed have microtransactions with a premium currency.”
