The game features a surprisingly engaging story with interesting moral and philosophical dilemmas.
The art and music are generally well-received, with many praising the quality of the graphics and soundtrack.
Characters are likable and the dialogue is often humorous, adding charm to the overall experience.

The game has very limited choices, with only two significant decisions that affect the ending, making it feel more like a visual novel than an interactive game.
Many players found the game overpriced for its short length and lack of substantial content, suggesting it would be better to wait for a sale.
The marketing is misleading, as there is no actual nudity or significant adult content, leading to disappointment among players expecting more fanservice.

The story of "Time Tenshi" revolves around time-traveling girls and a protagonist named Kenji, featuring a mix of fanservice and a somewhat serious narrative. While some players found the plot interesting and appreciated its depth, many criticized it for being underwhelming, lacking meaningful choices, and ending on a cliffhanger. Overall, the story is seen as a blend of intriguing concepts and flaws, with a significant focus on fanservice that detracts from its potential.
- “Time Tenshi (2015) tells a nice story that is treated more seriously than one would expect.”
- “The plot carried some surprising depth to it that one generally wouldn't expect while judging the cover.”
- “The story is fine for the most part, the serious bits are interesting and keep you intrigued, the silly bits are as ridiculous as you would hope, and the sexy bits do their job fine enough.”
- “The story itself is a fair bit underwhelming, with the main climax of the game (and the only impactful decision to make in this game) making no sense if you think about it for too long.”
- “The plot makes absolutely no sense and doesn't come to any clear conclusion by the end.”
- “The story is boring (not exciting, no real plot twist, finished everything in 71 minutes), and no real control of the plot plus it literally cuts off to say 'buy part 2 to continue'... they better make that 'here is part 2 for free'.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its quality and atmospheric presence, with many reviewers expressing a desire for an official soundtrack release. While the art is considered appealing, some note that the music significantly enhances the overall experience, making the game worth purchasing for its soundtrack alone. However, a few critiques mention a lack of variety in the music during serious moments, suggesting that more diversity could improve the emotional impact.
- “The soundtrack and the story is fantastic, and I really enjoyed playing the game.”
- “The background songs are really great; I’d buy this game’s soundtrack without hesitation.”
- “The music is really good.”
- “The characters don't even move; they are still images with some cheesy music.”
- “The music, while basic, usually suits the mood fine enough, although having more variety for the serious moments would do the game well.”
- “Is there a music list?”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the appealing artwork and character designs, particularly the mature themes and aesthetics. However, some criticize the simplicity and inconsistency of the animations, suggesting that while the visuals are decent, they do not stand out in comparison to other titles in the genre. Overall, the graphics serve as a complement to the story rather than a focal point, with players indicating that enjoyment of the visuals may vary based on personal preferences.
- “The artwork is really cool even though I don't watch anime, and I didn't mind there being breasts every 5 seconds.”
- “Not to sound perverted, but I enjoyed the artwork, and the fact there was some realistic science (along with some science I wish was real) involved.”
- “I tell you that and I'm not the only one saying it here, about the art style of the visual novel... I kind of enjoyed it too.”
- “No nudity, graphics are quite simple but decent. The story is nice but not earth-shaking... I'd say that it's a little overpriced at 9.99; better wait for it to be at a big discount (-40% or more).”
- “Granted, the art style did tend to vary when it came to close-ups, but I found I ignored it and wanted to know the story more than the attraction they tried to play with. Not much player choice was put into the game, but I find that with less choice, there seems to be a big outcome, which shows that little choice follows a bigger plot and story twist.”
- “Sure, the girls look good, but their animation is average. Seriously, there is better artwork out there, but I guess I shouldn’t be too hard since this is Silver Cow’s first game, and hopefully, they learn from this and make a better game next time, which is a sequel to this game.”
humor

The humor in the game is described as a mix of funny, weird, and awkward moments, with a self-aware charm that adds to its appeal. While some players appreciate the lightheartedness and likable characters, others feel that the jokes fall flat, particularly in relation to the time-traveling concept. Overall, the humor contributes to the game's character but may not be strong enough to justify its full price.
- “But all of them are introduced with humor.”
- “I find it funny they are willing to make fun of their own game in moments in it.”
- “However, this visual novel has a lot of heart and charm to it; the characters are likable, understandable, and charming. It has a decent amount of humor and is aware of itself.”

- “Replayability: 2”
- “So, yeah, a game that is easy to like (especially if you are one of the many people with a soft spot for charming characters), but it really didn't have the weight it could have had if it had offered more real or artificial choices (and not just barely 2, right at the end, which really hurt replayability).”
