The gameplay is characterized by a variety of engaging mechanics, including new additions like the glue mechanic and level editor, which keep the experience fresh and challenging. While some players find certain mechanics, such as the jump and glue features, mildly frustrating, the overall pacing and gradual introduction of mechanics contribute to enjoyable and varied platforming. Improvements over the first game include more levels, better mechanic integration, and the removal of the lives system, enhancing both accessibility and replayability.
- “I love the hub-world, the painting, and the extent of the mechanics.”
- “The game expands with much more levels and mechanics, and explores all of them just as well.”
- “Major improvement was the level editor, now you can make your own levels, besides that there are new obstacles and items to use which spice up the gameplay, but still leave it true to the game's name.”
- “While the level designs in this platformer are mildly interesting, zero effort was put into the most important aspects of video games, being gameplay, polish, visuals and so on, resulting in a very poor experience with no lasting power.”
- “I hated how the jump mechanic worked; when the player jumps, they fly fast up in the air, then fall down even faster.”
- “In the water flappy parts, this mechanic makes it very hard to get through.”

The graphics in this game are generally regarded as simplistic, pixelated, or outdated, with some reviewers calling them "godawful pixelcrap" and distracting due to background effects. However, others appreciate the retro 2D style and feel it fits the game's design, though opinions on visual quality vary. Overall, graphics are not the game's strong point and do not significantly impact the core gameplay experience.
- “Slime in 8-bit 2 is a sequel to Slime in 8-bit 1, and retains the same genre, art style, sound design, and approach to designing levels.”
- “On a side note, the music is still cool, the graphics are alright, though I thought they were a bit worse in this one than the first (less is more).”
- “10/10 would use newest graphics card for arcade jump'n'run.”
- “This features really godawful pixel-crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “Ok, the graphics suck, the music is not to my taste and the levels vary from fairly obvious and easy to wtf.”
- “Now the downside: the graphics, especially the distracting background effects, the puzzles don’t always scale linearly in difficulty.”

- “Infinitely replayable.”
- “Normally I don't do reviews, but after seeing some dislikes, I feel like saying that 'You Have 10 Seconds 2' is one of the best free games on Steam with tons of replay value, speedrun capabilities, more than 120 levels, and many features that were absent in the first game.”
- “This game took me an hour to finish and again there's no replay value whatsoever.”
