The gameplay is characterized by a simple yet engaging core mechanic that revolves around manipulating shapes to create patterns, reminiscent of tangram puzzles. While the puzzles are clever and the tutorial effectively introduces the mechanics, many players find the overall experience somewhat lacking due to limited content and replayability. The game is praised for its unique design and relaxing atmosphere, but some technical issues and a short playtime detract from its potential.
- “The mechanic is simple to grasp, and it was fun to finish.”
- “It's a unique puzzle game, which is fairly basic in its mechanics, but at the same time, quite a bit of fun.”
- “This is a very intuitive and simple puzzle game that is complicated enough to require some experimentation without causing frustration.”
- “Mechanically, the game is about as bare bones as you can get.”
- “The only problem is that it's too short and doesn't do anything to build off the base game mechanic.”
- “- the gameplay itself is wonky: getting pieces near the edges of the board will make them go back to their original position, even when you've technically placed them still inside the boundaries of the board.”

The graphics in the reviewed games vary significantly, with "Guilty Gear -Strive-" showcasing impressive 2D/3D hybrid visuals and animations, though marred by framerate slowdowns and glitches.

- “There’s little in the way of flair; the entire presentation is as basic as the puzzle mechanic, with simple but clean visuals and a single relaxing background track playing at all times.”
- “No biggie, but with how little graphics there are, it's quite surprising to then have graphics messed up at all.”
