The game received mixed reviews from critics. Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot gave Hot Pixel 6.5 out of 10 criticizing misleading advertisement of 200+ minigames and its close resemblance to WarioWare series, but praising the fact that it's a rather good clone of the game.[8] Pocket Gamer gave a game 6 out of 10 criticizing its variety and shortness but praised its presentation and its resemblance of various classical arcade games such as Arkanoid, Battlezone and Asteroids.[9] GameZone, on the other hand, compared it to Work Time Fun, but said that unlike that game this one have over 200 minigames and is fun (especially the one that resembles Breakout).[3]
