    The music in the game is widely praised for its techno soundtrack that complements the puzzle gameplay and enhances the overall sensory experience. While some users note minor issues with music transitions and track variety, the soundtrack is generally considered engaging and a strong highlight, especially when played with headphones.

    • “Just a fair warning before you play one of the best music puzzle games out there.”
    • “A very cool little puzzle game that plays like Lumines crossed with Tetris (but with wilder shapes for the blocks), with a techno soundtrack that I vibe with very hard, as well as two rotation styles that each play very differently (rotating the colors within the shapes vs rotating the shapes themselves like in a standard puzzle game).”
    • “Wonderful block-clearing puzzle game in the vein of Lumines, with a great soundtrack and well-tuned gameplay.”
    • “Whilst I still have a few issues with the game (the music transitions are still a bit rough)...”
    • “What you're going to find here is a semi-okay mashup of Lumines and Tetris style gameplay with a mere 21 minutes of okay-ish songs that are facsimiles of Berlin techno tunes that have really rough and ugly crossfade transitions.”
