The music in the game is generally described as relaxing and fitting the art style, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, many players find it repetitive and limited, with some opting to turn it off or play their own music instead. Overall, while the music complements the visuals, its lack of variety can lead to player fatigue.
“I love the relaxing yet upbeat music that goes along with it.”
“The music fits the art style and provides a relaxing atmosphere, though you might get tired of it once playing for too long since there is only one track included.”
“That's just a very minor negative point amongst all the positive aspects of the game, and you can simply disable the music if you wish to.”
“My only grievance with the game is that the music is really repetitive and gets annoying quickly. Additionally, sometimes it was frustrating how you would solve for two of the colors and then just copy/paste what you just did backwards for the other two colors, which made many of the puzzles feel repetitive (solving the same thing twice every puzzle).”
“The only complaint that I have is the background music.”
“The music is awful; I turned it off the moment I started playing. It doesn't make sense to put that kind of music in a puzzle game.”

The graphics are praised for their clean and bright visuals, which complement the art style and create a relaxing atmosphere. However, while the visuals enhance the experience, the puzzles themselves are considered too simplistic, diminishing the sense of accomplishment for players. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's aesthetic, though the limited music track may become repetitive over time.
“The graphics are clean and bright, the mechanics are solid, and solving the first puzzle is a cakewalk: 'you can't wait to get to the next one'.”
“I really like the art style and color palette.”
“The music fits the art style and provides a relaxing atmosphere.”
