“A volume slider for music is available (no sound effects), but the mouse bugs out occasionally; the cursor comes and goes, and I have to click the screen to make it appear. Otherwise, accessing the menu is cumbersome.”
“The minimalist presentation is okay, the music matches the theme, but I can't hold movement keys to move more than one tile, which is probably for the best without an undo option.”
“The option to download the music is welcome, but the overall experience is hindered by technical issues.”
