The gameplay of Ziro is characterized by its arithmetic-based mechanics, which some players find uninspired and reminiscent of other mobile games. While the game features stunning graphics and intuitive controls, it suffers from bugs that can hinder progress, and many users suggest that the game modes could be shorter to maintain interest. Overall, it offers a variety of puzzles but lacks a well-structured learning curve to gradually introduce new mechanics.

- “Ziro is an enjoyable and somewhat novel puzzle game that has surprisingly good sound design, intuitive gameplay, and a huge variety of puzzles to play through.”
- “It should have a learning curve introducing new mechanics along the way and then applying them, but there shouldn't be huge leaps and, if there are, then it should provide you with some way to keep progressing.”
- “I suppose with the mechanics the game employs, it is kind of inevitable as there is only so much that can be done with them, but for all of that, the different game modes should probably be a little shorter to keep people interested.”
- “TL;DR: mobile port with a tired mechanic used everywhere.”
- “There is apparently a mechanic where numbers above 10 can be divided, but I tried it on the first level and it was bugged. Instead of having one die of twelve, it created one die of six, making the level unbeatable.”
