The music in the game features a relaxing chill-techno track that plays on loop throughout, which some players find enjoyable, while others feel it becomes repetitive and bothersome over time. Overall, the limited variety in the soundtrack may detract from the experience, especially during extended gameplay sessions.
“Nice relaxing soundtrack.”
“I really enjoy the chill-techno song that plays throughout the game; it's a nice touch.”
“The background music creates a calming atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.”
“However, I must mention that the background music can become slightly bothersome at certain points.”
“Turn off your computer sound before loading, as the music will send you to an asylum by the end.”
“Not a bad game, but if you want more than one song on an endless loop while you solve 50 mazes with no time limit, pass on this one.”

The graphics in the game are a mixed bag; while some users praise them as amazing, others criticize the poor implementation of 3D visuals, which often feature blurry textures and fail to enhance the gameplay experience. Many feel that a more cohesive design that combines traditional maze elements with improved 3D graphics could have significantly elevated the game.
“As stated in the title, it's an amazing game with 3D graphics, board, and ball.”
“The graphics are amazing.”
“Would you like to complete 50 2-dimensional mazes which are displayed poorly using 3-dimensional graphics for no reason?”
“The 3D graphics, frequently featuring blurry textures, add absolutely nothing to the gameplay.”
“Which is a huge shame, as I think if they had kept the mazes and wide perspective of previous games, but married them to the 3D visuals, they'd be on to a winner.”

The gameplay is hindered by problematic controls and a lack of meaningful engagement, as the 3D graphics, despite visual improvements, do not enhance the experience and may detract from it. Overall, the game feels like it is struggling to balance visual advancements with gameplay quality.
“The gameplay feels like it's chasing its own tail in terms of how it's simultaneously made visual progress from the previous games, but the gameplay has arguably suffered as a result.”

The game offers minimal replayability due to a lack of options, making it unlikely for players to return after their initial playthrough.
“With no options, this game has nearly no replay value.”
“Once you complete the game, there's little incentive to play it again.”
“The lack of diverse paths or endings makes replaying feel pointless.”
