- The game lacks a more engaging VR environment, as it primarily takes place in a blank white space, which may feel uninspired to some.

The music in the game is generally praised for its soothing and relaxing qualities, enhancing the overall atmosphere and enjoyment. However, some players find the abrupt silence when nearing the completion of a puzzle to be jarring, as it disrupts the flow and tension of the experience. Overall, while the music adds a nice touch, its execution could benefit from more consistency.

“The music is soothing, the puzzles are great, the controls are smooth and intuitive.”

“It adds some tension, but I personally am not a fan of it; I like hearing the music play even when I am down to one piece.”
“One choppy aspect of the music is that if you have one block left to place, the music just cuts out, even if the last block could not possibly fit in the remaining space.”
