Additionally, the interface can exacerbate the annoyance with loud music and distracting visuals.

- “Then, you finally find that in the upper left corner there are two small intertwined candy canes; if you click on them, you'll have the chance to turn off music and effects.”
- “The music is nice, at least for five minutes.”
- “The music is simply jingle bells on loop; the game has no other sounds and the graphics are poor.”
- “- very short and repeating Christmas soundtrack.”
