The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it soothing and enjoyable, while others describe it as annoying and poorly integrated, particularly noting issues with overlapping victory and background music. While some appreciate the option to choose from various songs and categories, others opted to mute the game entirely in favor of their own music. Overall, the music adds a playful atmosphere, but its execution leaves room for improvement.

The gameplay features a simple mechanics system that is easy to understand, making it accessible for players, including children.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to the repetitive nature of repairing toys, which involves similar tasks for each item. The zooming in and out during disassembly and reassembly further slows down the process, making it feel unnecessarily cumbersome. Overall, while the beta limits the number of toys to repair, the lack of variety in tasks contributes to a monotonous experience.
“This game was okay, but repairing the toys became tedious because there was nothing different about any of them. You take them apart, clean them, paint them, and put them back together.”
“In the beta, you can repair only 10 toys, which is great for a beta, but they're all really easy and similar, making the game a bit tedious.”
“Get rid of the obnoxious zoom in/zoom out on every single piece when using the same tool (e.g., removing pieces with your hand). It slows things down unnecessarily and is tedious when you have several pieces to remove in the same manner.”
