The music in "Look Mum No Computer" is widely praised for its dynamic, modular soundtrack that evolves based on player upgrades and equipment, offering a unique interactive audio experience especially appealing to synth and electronic music fans. While the soundtrack is considered engaging and crafted with expertise, some reviewers note repetitive loops and early-stage simplicity that may not suit all tastes. Overall, the music is a standout feature that enhances gameplay and draws in enthusiasts of the genre.
- “The sort of signature feature of the game is the fact that the soundtrack changes based on which synthesizer modules you're currently using, and that's really neat!”
- “Customizing the modules (weapons and passive abilities) not only for power and function but for the way they modify the soundtrack is a really cool touch.”
- “Your arsenal literally writes the soundtrack as you play.”
- “It also feels like the game is deliberately slowing you down or stretching things out, and the short music loop in each level becomes just as repetitive.”
- “- The music for the individual levels feels incredibly repetitive and short, especially when you compare the music to their counterparts in the jam station, where all 9 presets of every module are automatically unlocked for you to jam out to your heart's content.”
- “The dynamic soundtrack concept kept me more engaged with the game as I played, but I have to agree with other reviews that some of the sounds can start to feel grating (the flame organ module lmao) and especially early in the game when your power level is low and the sounds aren't as complex.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its addictive loop, creative mechanics, and engaging upgrade system, with standout music and sound enhancing the experience. However, some find the core shooting mechanics basic or unsatisfying, and the cooldown mechanics detract from the flow. Overall, it offers a fun, challenging twin-stick shooter experience with unique level design and enjoyable customization outside of active gameplay.
- “A great gameplay loop that sucks you in... loved finding this little nugget of gold!”
- “I found the gameplay satisfying and especially once you get far enough in that you're choosing where and when to use different combinations of modules.”
- “The station in your 'home base' where you can freely mix and match all components is a lot of fun to tinker with, and provides a much better experience, but is completely separate from the actual gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is lacking in many parts.”
- “But the gameplay is just not good.”
- “The core gameplay of shooting enemies is just not satisfying, and having to wait for overheated modules to cool down is not interesting.”

The story is generally seen as incoherent and somewhat filler-like, with repetitive missions and lack of enemy variety leading to a tedious experience toward the end. However, some players found it fun, satisfying, and appreciated its straightforward, handcrafted linear narrative amidst a market saturated with complex game structures. Escort missions receive particular criticism for frustration despite self-aware humor.
- “If you're looking for a solid linear story-driven twin stick shooter, this is the one.”
- “In a landscape full of buzzwords like nonlinear, roguelike, open-world, it's quite cool just to sit down and play through a little handcrafted story.”
- “It was super satisfying to complete the game though, and the story was okay for the most part.”
- “The story is bad and kinda incoherent, and dialogue feels like filler from the get-go.”
- “I maintain the positive review because there are some nice things in there, but I feel the game would have benefited a lot to be shorter and with more enemy and mission variety as it got a bit tedious the closer I got to the end credits.”
- “Small update now that I've reached the end: as I said, the game tends to be a bit repetitive with the same missions taking place in every stage, and not enough enemy variety.”

Grinding in the game is often described as slow, repetitive, and tedious, especially in the late stages where backtracking and component farming become necessary. While upgrades are rewarding, the extensive grinding required for better gear and parts can diminish enjoyment, leading some players to resort to cheats. Greater mission variety and pacing improvements could have alleviated these frustrations.
- “Pacing and progression feel sluggish and kind of tedious, you slowly walk back and forth, running into the same enemies and fighting the same battles over and over again.”
- “Component farming is super grindy and doesn't add anything.”
- “I also found the later-game grinding for upgrade parts to be quite tiresome, to the extent that I ended up just using memory edits to give myself upgrade material.”

The graphics receive high praise for their excellent, visually electric art style featuring retro synth and neon elements. The game's aesthetic is lovingly crafted and enhances the immersive experience, seamlessly integrating with the music and gameplay. Overall, the visuals are outstanding and contribute significantly to the game's unique atmosphere.
- “This is a lovingly crafted game, the aesthetic and graphics are excellent, the music is awesome, and the references to electronics and music clearly show expertise in those subjects.”
- “The graphics are incredible, the soundtrack is perfect, the missions are really fun.”
- “Visually electric: the art style is delightfully warped — think cables, vintage synths, neon tubes, and retro CRT vibes everywhere.”

The humor in the game is quirky and charming, featuring hilarious moments and playful references that add to its personality. While it doesn't take itself too seriously, the lightheartedness and character antics contribute positively to the overall experience.
- “There's definitely some charm here, and you get some hilarious moments out of playing as Sam and Kosmo while tweaking your sound cannon with different modules.”
- “It's very clear to me that a lot of thought, time, and effort went into the game, evident even in the smaller LMNC references and humor, not just in the dialogue but also in details like the characters you rescue running crazily around the screen before leaving.”
- “Quirky humor: true to form, it doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
