The game's music is generally described as calming and pleasant, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere, but it suffers from repetitiveness, featuring only one short looping track that can become annoying over time. Many players expressed frustration over the lack of audio controls, requiring them to manually adjust settings outside the game. While some appreciate the soothing quality of the music, others found it generic and overly simplistic, detracting from the overall experience.

- “So good for relaxing with some music and just chilling out.”
- “The background music is peaceful yet upbeat.”
- “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.”
- “Music consists of one generic outsourced track that, albeit relaxing, plays constantly on a loop and gets boring after a little while.”
- “Very repetitive music that quickly gets annoying and that you can't permanently turn off (it will turn itself back on every time you restart the game).”

The gameplay is characterized as a simple yet engaging puzzle experience, primarily involving sliding block mechanics reminiscent of sokoban and slider puzzles. While the minimalist design and limited mechanics may not appeal to everyone, the game effectively teaches its mechanics and offers a satisfying challenge across its 60 levels, albeit with a short overall playtime of about an hour. Some players appreciate the straightforward nature and unique block interactions, while others find it lacking in depth and ambition.

- “The issue I had with this game was that there weren't enough game mechanics to keep me engaged.”
- “Poor implementation, boring gameplay.”
- “On top of the uninspired puzzles and the minimal aesthetic getting in the way of the actual gameplay, the game constantly showers you with achievements making it feel like one of those pieces of shovelware that just throws in achievements to draw in the people who just want to get a huge number of achievements as fast as they can to watch the numbers on their Steam profile steadily rise.”
