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 a puzzle game and can be somewhat bland or distorted. Overall, the soundtrack is generally appreciated for its relaxing qualities, but there are calls for more variety and better audio quality.
- “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.”

- “The graphics are not intense, so any PC, laptop, phone, or tablet should be able to run it.”
- “Simple, easy-to-follow graphics.”
