The game runs well on Linux and offers resolution options, including a resizable window mode. However, it has some bugs, particularly with the transition between windowed and full-screen modes, which can lead to display issues such as improperly sized elements.
“Runs great on Linux.”
“There are resolution options and you can play in windowed mode by pressing alt+enter or toggling it in the menu, which produces a resizable window, but it's a bit buggy: going back to full screen doesn't resize elements, so if you make a small window where only 5 levels are visible on the level select screen, for instance, then go back to full screen, you'll still only see 5 levels with a scrollbar in the middle of the screen.”

The graphics effectively fulfill their purpose, but some users note that certain colors can be difficult to distinguish in specific levels.
“The graphics do their job, though some colors are hard to distinguish on a few levels.”

The game features minimal audio, consisting solely of a clicking sound with no accompanying music; however, a patch has introduced an audio on/off toggle for player convenience.
“As for the audio, there's only a clicking sound, no music, but an audio on/off toggle got patched in.”

The gameplay has improved with the latest patch, allowing for nearly mouse-only navigation, though players still need to use the keyboard for movement. Additionally, a menu feature has been added for resetting levels or returning to the main menu.
“After the latest patch, mouse-only gameplay is almost achieved. There's a menu where you can reset the level or go back to the main menu, but moving around is still only possible with the keyboard.”
