The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads, with many players reporting ads appearing after nearly every level or even during gameplay. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads significantly detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to frustration and, in many cases, uninstallation of the game. A common suggestion among players is the introduction of a paid option to remove ads entirely.
“This is actually a really good game; I'm sure it would be better if I bought no ads.”
“I like this game; it's really fun and there are not a lot of ads. I played for like 10 minutes with no ads, which gets you very relaxed, and that's why I give it 5 stars.”
“I also encountered no ads, which was a nice touch.”
“The game is fun, but there is way too many ads.”
“You will spend more time watching ads than playing the stupid game.”
“The amount of ads after every level completely interrupts playing the game.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitive nature, lack of challenge, and frequent interruptions from ads, which detract from the overall experience. While some users appreciate the mechanics and graphics, many find the gameplay dull and unengaging, often leading to frustration and uninstallation. Overall, the balance between gameplay and advertisements is heavily skewed, resulting in a disappointing experience for players.
“The gameplay is fun, well made, good graphics, and barely any ads.”
“Basic gameplay seems ok.”
“Excessive ads, otherwise satisfying gameplay!”
“Would have loved to see the game fleshed out with increasingly complex mechanics and puzzles, but instead it just turns repetitive way too quickly to retain attention.”
“It's just awful, there's no gameplay whatsoever.”
“An advert every 20 seconds, I think it's nice how this advert contains a game, I mean come on it's practically unplayable. The ratio of gameplay to adverts is ridiculous, completely unplayable which is a shame.”

Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the visuals as "good" or "nice," highlighting appealing animations and a vibrant aesthetic. However, some users criticize the graphics as lacking depth or being "trashy," particularly in comparison to modern standards. While the majority appreciate the visual design, there are mentions of occasional graphical glitches and performance issues that detract from the experience.

“The gameplay is fun, well made, good graphics, and barely any ads.”
“The controls are literally trash, the gameplay is limited to how many ads there are. I had it for a day and it's not good. It lacks graphics and it is 2020. The graphics are the most trashy thing I've ever seen in my life. If you even move the cables, they fly into nothing. It is the definition of not good.”
“The only issue I run into is that it will go nuts, graphically, sometimes.”
“Very little ads and decent game, kinda needs some graphics.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its calming and relaxing qualities, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. While some users noted issues with ads and repetitive level design, the addition of sound and music has been positively received, making it a favorite for late-night play. Overall, the soundtrack contributes significantly to the game's appeal, with many players expressing a desire for access to the music outside of the game.
“This game is one of those games you will play at night because of the chill music.”
“It is such a calming game, and the music is super relaxing.”
“I love this game especially because of the background music; although there are a bit too many ads, it's a great game overall.”
“It has no sound effects or music of any kind, and it's very off-putting.”
“I turned my phone off and the music still played.”
“I had just posted a review about there being no sound or in-game music before I updated the game, but nevermind that because you all added sound to the game.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant lag, choppy performance, and poor physics across various devices, including current models like the Huawei P30 and LG K10. Many players feel that the game is primarily designed as an ad space, further detracting from the overall experience due to its technical shortcomings.
“On top of that, the game runs slowly and choppy, even on a current device.”
“Very poorly optimized; didn't have sound but the ads did, lagged like nobody's business. If you drag a cable wrong, it will go crazy and spaghettify all over the screen.”
“The physics in the game are clearly unoptimized.”

Players find the humor in the game primarily through amusing glitches, such as cables exhibiting comical "spas attacks" when manipulated. While some users noted minor issues, the overall comedic elements, including the quirky behavior of in-game objects, contribute positively to their experience.
“I don't have any complaints; there's this hilarious glitch where if you move a cord through or over something, or even stretch one out, they start having a spasm attack. I love it; please don't fix it.”
“The only issue is the funny cable behavior sometimes, and the lack of a no-ads purchase, hence 4 stars.”
“But it made me laugh.”

Players initially find the grinding aspect oddly mesmerizing, but it quickly becomes tedious and repetitive as puzzles begin to repeat over time.
“Oddly mesmerizing at first, but after a while, when you notice that the puzzles start to repeat, it grows incredibly tedious and repetitive.”
