The music in the game is generally described as soothing and relaxing, enhancing the casual gameplay experience. However, some users feel that the soundtrack is lacking in quality, which detracts from the overall ambiance. The absence of fast-paced music or urgency-inducing mechanics allows players to enjoy a more laid-back atmosphere.
“Very interesting and time-pass casual puzzle game with soothing ambient music.”
“Instead, the music (if you have it on) is relaxing, and you can take your time, play at your pace, not worry about being interrupted negatively impacting your score.”
“Another relaxing game; sadly, the soundtrack is just not good at all.”
“There are no mechanics to create a false sense of urgency (no timer, increasing speed, fast-paced music, etc.).”
