The music in the game is generally described as soothing and enjoyable, enhancing the relaxing experience of puzzle-solving. However, some users find it limited and occasionally too loud, leading them to prefer their own background music instead. Customization options for music selection are appreciated, but there is a desire for more variety in the soundtrack.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The background music is soothing, and completing the puzzles can be easier than the pixel puzzles series.”
“The music in the background was a nice touch, if a bit limited.”
“I usually put on some relaxing music, turn the game sounds/music off and have a relaxing night completing the various difficulties of each puzzle.”
“Enjoyable but fundamentally identical to the previously released 'beautiful Japanese scenery' installment, namely in terms of music and layout customization as well as the order in which available puzzles unlock.”
“I often watch a YouTube video or listen to a podcast/music on my second screen while I piece together these puzzles.”
