The gameplay is criticized for being frustrating and buggy, particularly in its puzzle mechanics, which escalate in difficulty from spring to winter levels, requiring increasingly complex combinations of shapes and colors to achieve high scores.
- “Very poor puzzle game with a lot of bugs, and gameplay that is likely to be more frustrating than calming.”
- “More critically though, the frustrations of the gameplay itself - in the early (spring) levels you have 4 shapes and 4 colors, and to get three stars on the level you need at least one of each. This increases to 5 shapes and 4 colors in summer, 5 shapes and 5 colors in autumn, and finally six of each in winter.”
