The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its retro and techno vibes that enhance the overall atmosphere. It has been compared to the soundtrack of "Hotline Miami," contributing significantly to the game's appeal and replayability. While some players feel the music is enjoyable, they also note that it may not be compelling enough to warrant a purchase without a discount.
- “The whole thing is really nice, the neon graphics and the music all fit perfectly and you'll keep coming back to it to play a couple of levels.”
- “The music in this game is very good, it reminds me a bit of the Hotline Miami soundtrack and does bring up the tempo of the game a bit.”
- “If it wasn't for the soundtrack, this game wouldn't be as special.”
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
- “While I usually am not a fan of these kinds of simplistic cube graphics, I have to say this looks a bit nicer, since they have made the cubes look almost 3D and at the same time managed to get it to fit very well with the music and atmosphere of the game.”

The graphics of Ping 1.5+™ are polarizing, with some reviewers criticizing the low-poly, minimalist design as lazy and reminiscent of early 1990s games, while others appreciate the vibrant, pixel-based visuals that complement the game's atmosphere. Despite the simplistic cube graphics, some players find them appealing and well-integrated with the game's music, creating an enjoyable aesthetic experience. Overall, opinions vary widely, reflecting a divide between those who see the graphics as a lack of effort and those who embrace the retro style.
- “Bright graphics and fun bouncing blocks make this a good one in my book.”
- “The graphics fit for the kind of game it is meant to be and the music for the game is pretty good.”
- “Visually this game is quite appealing, simple but nice graphics and very colorful.”
- “Ping 1.5+™ is a badly made, lazy 2.5D/low poly/minimalist puzzle platformer that leverages an Angry Birds-style slingshot to move your cube around (yeah, the developer didn't know how to do video game graphics, so we just get cubes).”
- “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to disguise it under the name of 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
- “The graphics are pixel-based and retro with a side of vibrant!”
