The graphics of Woodle Tree Adventures are generally described as charming and cute, featuring a colorful art style reminiscent of classic platformers from the PS1 and N64 eras. While many reviewers appreciate the visual appeal and soothing soundtrack, they often criticize the overall execution, noting issues with camera control and gameplay mechanics that detract from the experience. Despite its aesthetic strengths, some players feel the graphics alone cannot compensate for the game's shortcomings.
- “Woodle Tree Adventures is a 3D platformer with a cute art style.”
- “The graphics are cartoony, but still maintain a very beautiful and eye-catching style!”
- “I absolutely love the visuals (very charming, and especially cute), and the soundtrack is so soothing.”
- “It also happens to be easy, and doesn't need any proper talent in terms of game development/graphic artists etc. That's why reviewers are faced with so many of these terrible games with confrontingly bad graphics.”
- “Worst 3D platformer ever. Animations are god awful, control scheme is the worst I've ever seen. This game's graphics are so bad that it makes The Elder Scrolls: Arena look good, and the frame rate almost made me puke.”
- “Don't be fooled by the cute and nice-looking graphics; this game is one of the worst games you can get on Steam!”

Despite these criticisms, a few players noted that the soundtrack is one of the better aspects of the game, providing a pleasant backdrop for gameplay.
- “The music is mainly based on the piano, but it fits the whole theme and is probably the best part about the game.”
- “The soundtrack, which was created by David Wise and Nobuo Uematsu, is a delight to the ears; the songs mostly consist of amazing piano works with some sax on the side.”
- “I absolutely love the visuals (very charming, and especially cute), and the soundtrack is so soothing.”
- “The music lacks proper intonation, harmony and smoothness.”
- “Overall the soundtrack makes me feel uneasy which doesn't fit into that cute world.”
- “A vacuous 3D platformer with a crummy camera, uninspired level design, bad writing and dialogue that cannot be skipped, and music that sounds like someone noodling on a keyboard for a minute using the bare-bones Windows general MIDI soundfont (translation for those who aren't sound nerds: the music you'd hear on a Geocities webpage in the 1990s).”

The gameplay of Woodle Tree Adventures is characterized by its simplistic mechanics and charming visuals, but it suffers from significant issues such as poor camera control and imprecise controls, leading to a frustrating experience. While some players appreciate its easy accessibility for younger audiences, many find the overall gameplay to be short, unengaging, and lacking depth, with most completing it in about an hour. Despite its colorful art style, the game is often described as feeling unpolished and lacking the satisfying mechanics found in more refined platformers.
- “The gameplay is spectacular, having a very well-paced game. Woodle runs like Sonic yet jumps like Rosalina's up-B in Smash; this may seem like an odd combo, but it works perfectly and I love it.”
- “The game controls fluently to the point where I thought I was the character in the game (it's just that good), and the combat is just as great, with fast-paced action-packed battles where you must use your leaf of the heavens to shatter your opponents while avoiding their attacks.”
- “There are multiple upgrades, fun worlds, and the gameplay is simple yet fun.”
- “The gameplay is incredibly boring and hardly engaging.”
- “On the other hand, it has boring gameplay and imprecise controls.”
- “Overall: not that good, gameplay feels annoying and sluggish, sounds are also annoying and repetitive.”
