The gameplay is characterized by basic yet interesting mechanics that involve collecting colored boxes in a specific order to form a final shape. While the puzzles offer a meaningful challenge, the controls are criticized for being unresponsive, and the overall experience is hindered by frustrating menu navigation and a lack of easy restart options. Despite these issues, the core concept has potential, but it requires refinement for a more enjoyable experience.
- “The gameplay: you control the blue box and must collect other boxes (which have different colors) in the right order to form the final shape.”
- “The game mechanics are interesting, and trying to minimize the number of moves you make just adds a new level on top of that.”
- “Interesting gameplay concept.”
- “This mechanic wouldn't have been a problem if the controls were pretty tight; unfortunately, they are not.”
- “Very basic gameplay, and straightforward.”
- “The developer(s) should redesign the mechanic that counts your moves (in my opinion).”

The music in the game features a selection of classical tracks that some players find calming and fitting for the gameplay, while others feel it doesn't suit the puzzle genre and can be repetitive or of low quality. Although the soundtrack is generally pleasant, there are criticisms regarding its randomness and the use of royalty-free tracks, with some noting issues like distorted audio. Overall, while the music enhances the experience for some, it leaves room for improvement in terms of variety and thematic relevance.
- “Very nice classic music in the background as well.”
- “I really enjoyed the calm music in this game.”
- “Relaxing music.”
- “The music isn't offensive, but the stock orchestra tunes are pretty blah.”
- “Using royalty-free classical music is a completely fine choice for a soundtrack, but one of the used tracks has a weird, distorted audio quality.”
- “Changing the leaderboards to be for individual levels rather than every 5 and having a soundtrack that isn’t random classical music would also improve things.”
