The game's music is generally well-received, with many players finding it enjoyable and relaxing, though some express frustration over the lack of audio controls, making it difficult to turn off the background music. Additionally, the ticking timer sound is noted as a source of anxiety for some players. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, the absence of proper audio settings detracts from it.
“The music is enjoyable and the sound effects are effective but muted--in that they do not detract from the relaxing musical score.”
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
“The only thing I didn't like was the music; it really detracted from the overall experience.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with multiple asset flips released on Steam that rely on fake reviews and achievements to attract quick sales from achievement hunters. Users report a pattern of low-quality releases that flood the platform, undermining the integrity of the gaming experience.
“They've asset flipped this exact same game onto Steam 10 times, as cheap, nasty, lazy cash grabs, and infest them with fake reviews and thousands of fake achievements to lure in quick sales from achievement hunters.”
“That's all there is to this, cash grab garbage polluting Steam.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”

Replayability is highly regarded due to the randomization of puzzles, ensuring that players encounter different challenges each time they play. Users appreciate that they rarely see the same puzzles, enhancing the overall experience and encouraging multiple playthroughs.
“Replayability is good since the puzzles are randomized, and I never saw the same ones twice. Enjoy!”
“Patterns are randomized, which does afford replayability.”
“The game has some randomised patterns, but it still lacks true replayability.”
“While the patterns are randomised, the overall experience feels repetitive after a few playthroughs.”
“The randomisation adds a bit of variety, but it doesn't significantly enhance the replay value.”
