The music in the game is generally praised for its upbeat and engaging quality, contributing to a fun atmosphere. However, some players note a lack of variety, leading to repetitiveness after extended play. Overall, while the soundtrack is considered a highlight, there is room for improvement in terms of additional tracks and musical diversity.
“A solid suika-like with multiplayer components and a banging soundtrack.”
“Great music, great vibes.”
“Though there isn't much variety in music, and it does get repetitive after about 20-30 minutes of playing.”
“Still, it feels rather basic and could be improved with more music tracks.”
“Other than the design and gameplay itself, I think they really hit the nail on the head with the soundtrack.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by its amusing emote faces and entertaining presentation, making it a fun choice for kids, parties, and couples, especially when played together on the same PC. While the concept is engaging, some users suggest that additional game modes could enhance the comedic experience.
“It's an interesting concept and a good game with nice and funny presentation.”
“Like that 'other' game on Switch but with funny emote faces.”
“There could be more modes as well if one would want to have a funny game for kids, parties of friends, and maybe couples - and this works best when you both are at the same PC.”

The gameplay is considered basic and could benefit from additional mechanics and features to enhance variety, such as same-screen multiplayer, more music tracks, and a single-player campaign with unlockable content. While the mechanics are enjoyable, players feel that the game lacks the depth and excitement found in other similar titles.
“Match-3 games have bombs, exploding rows, frozen tiles, etc. I guess in this game there could be tons of similar elements to liven up gameplay and make it more varied.”
“Fun music; honestly, I like the mechanics better than the 'watermelon' game that has blown up everywhere.”
“Still, it feels rather basic and could be improved with same-screen multiplayer, more music tracks, more mechanics added, and maybe some single-player 'campaign' mode where new stuff unlocks in every level.”
“E.g. match-3 games have bombs, exploding rows, frozen tiles, etc. I guess in this game there could be tons of similar stuff to liven up gameplay and make it more varied.”
“But at least those games have additional mechanics that get introduced all the time, at every next level.”

The game's stability is criticized due to buggy physics that can lead to frustrating gameplay, such as disappearing items and unpredictable bounces, which detract from the overall experience.
“The game has a pretty fun (though unoriginal) concept, but the buggy physics really ruin the experience. Fruits disappear if they can't fit, and one unlucky bounce can lead to failure with an empty bag.”
“I encountered numerous stability issues that made the game frustrating to play. The physics are inconsistent, leading to unexpected failures.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to enjoy. Stability is a major concern that needs to be addressed.”
