The graphics of the game are generally praised for their appealing aesthetics and smooth performance, with a color scheme that enhances the visual experience. However, some users find the graphics overly cluttered, particularly on smaller screens, which can detract from gameplay clarity. While the animated visuals effectively represent different historical periods, they may not engage players uninterested in history, and there is a sentiment that the graphics could have been better utilized to enhance gameplay options.
“The game runs smoothly, the graphics look great, and the color scheme used makes the game pleasant to look at.”
“+ appealing animated graphics that represent different time periods in history.”
“A simple matching game with superb graphics, though more gameplay options should have been added, but it's a great game for killing some time.”
“However, one look at the screenshots on a 4-inch phone makes it clear that these graphics are far too cluttered for small screens (see [i]tokyo 2048[/i] for a minimalist graphical version which fits far better on a phone).”
“Even on a laptop, a full board can be harder to read quickly than a numerical grid, but the fancy graphics do help justify the decision to play what is essentially a phone game on your PC.”
“Aside from the graphics, the main features that distinguish it from all the other clones are an undo button with a 20-second cooldown and, judging from the level 'unlock' screen which shows your progress, a maximum tile 'level' of 16 (=65k in a traditional 2048 game using number tiles).”

The music aspect of the game is minimal, with no original soundtrack or unique sound effects, relying instead on a generic 'bubble' sound. Users find it suitable for casual listening during downtime, but criticize the lack of variety and confusing menu layout. Overall, the music experience is deemed underwhelming and simplistic.
“No music, no unique sound effects (just a generic 'bubble' sound when things slide), only one tile set, no apparent way to select 'levels', extremely confusing menu layout.”
“I admit, I probably won't spend hours upon hours with it, but if I want to listen to a podcast or music, or I'm in a situation where I have 'too much time to sit there, but not enough to get into anything complex', it's perfect.”
