The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while many players praise the soundtrack as fantastic and enjoyable, others find it repetitive and annoying over time. The charming visuals complement the music, creating a pleasant atmosphere, but some players feel that the novelty wears off quickly. Overall, the soundtrack is a highlight for many, though it may not sustain interest throughout longer play sessions.
“But I'm definitely coming back for the soundtrack.”
“Super honkin' tasty soundtrack.”
“A really short, but fun game with cute and charming visuals, and a fantastic soundtrack!”
“I suppose most people have been applying that ironically, but while the cute visuals and music do convey the impression that you're being lulled, there is nothing else to justify this label.”
“It's nice to look at for a while, but even in the brief amount of time I played it, the music began to annoy me, and I got bored of searching for the last achievement.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity, focusing on basic mechanics like jumping, throwing objects, and exploring a whimsical map filled with secrets. Players enjoy the straightforward nature of throwing books and interacting with the environment, finding pleasure in the exploration rather than complex mechanics. Overall, the charm lies in its minimalist approach and the joy of discovery.
“It's hard to explain what I like about a game whose gameplay mostly boils down to throwing books and exploring a map, but maybe it's the simplicity that really makes me like it.”
“The mechanics are simple: space to jump, left click to throw, right click to open doors.”
“The gameplay is simple; you throw books and mail at whatever you want.”
“Some things disappear when you lob stuff at them, and you'd imagine there is a purpose behind this (specifically the things disappearing, not the throwing mechanic).”
“There's no game mechanics so to speak, just a stage filled with smiling faces and small secrets, and exploring it feels nice.”
