Whip! Whip! offers a fun and charming arcade experience reminiscent of classics like Bubble Bobble, with simple yet engaging gameplay mechanics.
The game features cute characters and a delightful food aesthetic, making it visually appealing and enjoyable for players who appreciate arcade-style graphics.
Co-op and challenge modes enhance replayability, allowing players to enjoy the game with friends and tackle more difficult challenges after completing the story.

The game suffers from technical issues, including crashes when accessing the options menu and a requirement for a controller, which limits accessibility.
Many players find the game too simplistic and short, with the main story mode taking only about an hour to complete, leading to concerns about its overall value.
Graphical glitches and a lack of old-school CRT filters detract from the retro experience that some players were hoping for.

The game's story is simple and charming, featuring cute cutscenes and a main character that players find endearing. While the story mode can be completed in about an hour and offers a relaxed experience with the option to practice stages, it unlocks a more challenging mode afterward. Overall, the narrative is enjoyable, especially in co-op play, but the brevity may not justify its price for some players.
- “The main character is very cute, and the story is charming.”
- “So in summary; very cute and simplistic arcade-style game with a fun story, probably a lot more entertaining with a friend.”
- “The entire main game will take you about an hour and a half to finish, which unlocks a 'challenge mode' that is just the same game all over again where you play until you lose (in the story mode, you can go back and continue from whatever level you lost at, which makes it a bit more relaxing).”
- “The story is simple, but it does include cutscenes that I personally find very cute, apparently with a different ending if you do co-op (for reasons that make sense once you've done the story alone).”
- “The game itself isn't long at all and can be finished within an hour or so casually playing through it for the first time, but this game offers a challenge mode after finishing the story which is the real deal no holds barred difficult achievement of the game to go for.”

The gameplay is engaging and reminiscent of classic titles like Bubble Bobble, featuring unique glove mechanics that enhance movement and combat. Players enjoy the challenge of clearing stages with a variety of power-ups, but the overall experience may feel limited, as the challenge mode does not introduce new elements, potentially leading to a quick sense of completion. Despite its well-executed mechanics, some reviewers feel the game's value diminishes after a short playtime.
- “The glove grabbing mechanics make moving around fun and interesting.”
- “The movement mechanics and the power-ups keep me coming back, trying to beat it faster and faster.”
- “Because the challenge mode doesn't offer anything new in terms of gameplay, I would say that you've basically seen the entire game after an hour and a half of playing, which, again, does not warrant the current price upon release.”
- “The game is reminiscent of Bubble Bobble but with a different type of gameplay and some easy-going story.”
- “You clear stages (or 'recipes') by defeating all the enemies in each level, with a unique mechanic of shooting a ranged glove onto them.”
