The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it simplistic, incoherent, or poorly translated, often overshadowed by the game's visual and gameplay elements. While some appreciate the effort in maintaining a narrative, others feel it lacks depth and engagement, suggesting that the game is primarily focused on its hentai content rather than a compelling storyline.

- “Beautiful graphics, interesting storyline, and the music and sound effects are divine!”
- “The deeply compelling story with its excellent writing pulls on the heartstrings like a romantic novel where the dog dies three-quarters of the way through.”
- “This game has a deep story; I cried a few times (wink wonk), needed a few tissues to clean my tears.”
- “I was not invested in the story and wished it was either shorter or better.”
- “The English translations aren't the best; the dialogue glitches a bit, and in my opinion, the story you get from the conversations is a bit incoherent, which might be explained by the translations.”
- “If there's anything I dislike about the game, it would be the story, which could be made way more interesting if the developers put in a little more time into it, since it's very cliché in many aspects, although it surprised me a little at one point.”

The gameplay primarily revolves around arranging colors to create gradients, which some players find unique and enjoyable, while others describe it as simplistic and repetitive. Although the mechanics are easy to grasp and can be relaxing, many reviewers express a desire for more challenging levels and varied gameplay elements. Overall, while the art and music receive praise, the gameplay is often seen as lacking depth and engagement, making it a mixed experience for players.
- “The actual gameplay revolves around a unique color theory puzzle that I've never seen in a game before, very interesting but the sound effects made every puzzle way too easy, which is a good thing because you really want to unlock all the girls as soon as possible, so I'm not going to complain about how easy the puzzles were.”
- “I just have to say, I've played 16 levels, and this is very unique gameplay!”
- “The gameplay is pretty quick, simple, and enjoyable, not hard so you can get right to the 'gameplay'.”
- “Gameplay is quite the same as other hentai games, pretty boring and repetitive; at least the girls are cute.”
- “The gameplay is also nothing special; it basically involves figuring out which color goes where, so if you are color blind, then good luck, because there is no way you can figure this out.”
- “The most you'll get from this is the first 5 minutes; after that, it becomes the most boring experience ever. There are over 50 puzzles, and the biggest change in gameplay was blocks being already placed, which made it a little more confusing.”

- “Altogether, it's a very aesthetically pleasing game with a refreshing h-game puzzle concept that unfortunately lacks any bit of challenge, has some rather bland 'adult' interactions, and has some botchy dialogue.”
