The gameplay features fresh mechanics initially, but quickly becomes repetitive over the course of 300 levels, lacking a meaningful difficulty curve or variety in block types. While the controls are easy to manage and the music enhances the experience, the absence of new mechanics or challenges may lead to diminished interest over time.
“Fresh mechanics!”
“Very easy gameplay; you use the mouse all the time and need to manage the correct way of pushing blocks. If you push a block in the wrong order, you can undo the move, but keep in mind that undoing actions will remove stars and score at the end of the level.”
“Music is very good to listen to and gameplay is smooth.”
“After that, the gameplay stays the same for the remaining 300 levels.”
“There isn't really a difficulty curve either, as each level just shows you a slightly different configuration of blocks to start with, whereas the grid and the mechanics don't change at all after the tutorial levels.”
“It needs more mechanics, perhaps more different blocks, maybe some blocks on the grid that do things as you drop onto them, something to keep your interest.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it annoying and repetitive across the 310 levels, others describe it as basic yet tolerable, with a few appreciating its quality and smooth integration into gameplay.

“The soundtrack becomes very annoying, very quickly. 310 levels, all of which are just as annoying as the last. I wish this wasn't in my library tainting my profile.”
“Music is serviceable; there is a story to it of sorts, but with hilariously awful translation. Graphically, it's fine, and it controls well enough.”
“On the plus side, the music is basic but tolerable, which is especially nice to know if you intend to sit through all of Perfect Fit - Totemland's 310 levels.”

While the game includes some musical elements and decent graphics, the poorly translated story detracts from the overall experience.
“The story is limited to some ridiculous notions about the blocks being trolls, and I'm not sure what they're trying to tell the player, really.”

The humor in the game is largely derived from its hilariously poor translation, which adds an unintended comedic element to the story. Overall, while the music and graphics are decent, the humor stands out as a notable aspect of the experience.
