The game received mixed reviews on Metacritic.[3] Reviewers said that Scrap Garden was a charming 3D platformer with a masterfully constructed storyline, good for spending an afternoon or two on, and its low difficulty and simple gameplay makes it a decent point of entry for children or beginners to the genre.[1][7][8] The game was cited as a game with a great idea, but the execution fell flat.[4][10] It was stated to be an interesting indie project with a nice plot and gameplay,[6] but there were some annoying bugs and boring puzzles.[9] It was also said that Scrap Garden was just like its protagonist: it may look a little dented, but its heart is in the right place.[1]
