The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its relaxing and enjoyable qualities, while others find it repetitive and lacking in variety. Some tracks are described as calming, fitting for a puzzle game, but there are also criticisms regarding the inclusion of more stressful music that feels out of place.

- “The soundtrack is an absolute banger, and putting a puzzle together with a friend is so satisfying.”
- “The background music is strangely relaxing.”

- “Oh, and you mustn't forget how bad the music was.”
- “Music is repetitive and lacks variety.”
- “The choice of music seems a bit strange, almost as if the tracks were also taken from other games - there are a few that are calm and relaxing as I would expect for this kind of game, but other tracks are a bit more stressful, the type of music that would be more fitting for a game with a time limit on a level (there isn't a time limit in this game).”

Gameplay is generally solid, with effective mechanics for moving and placing pieces, though some users note a lag in piece recognition and a desire for improved puzzle snapping features. The interface feels dated, reminiscent of 90s games, but the graphics are praised for their quality. Overall, while there are minor glitches, they do not significantly detract from the experience.

- “The mechanics of moving the pieces around, selecting the pieces, and placing the pieces on the board are good.”
- “I've encountered two glitches, both of them didn't ruin the gameplay.”
- “Puzzle mechanics are okay, wish the snapping feature was better or at least adjustable.”
- “In terms of gameplay, the game can be slow to register when a piece should be correctly placed on the board or connected to an adjacent piece, and it isn't unusual to have to try 2-3 times to have a correctly placed piece recognized.”
- “The design and interface are a little wonky and reminiscent of games from the 90s, but the overall mechanics work fine.”
