- Offers a great variety of puzzles that ramp up in difficulty, providing a challenge for both casual and experienced players.
- The 'last push' undo feature enhances gameplay by allowing players to quickly revert to their last action, making it more user-friendly.
- Minimalist design and solid execution create an enjoyable experience, with a nice audio backdrop that complements the puzzle-solving atmosphere.
- Many puzzles lack depth and interest compared to other sokoban games, with some players finding them poorly designed.
- Navigation can be tedious without a quick level select screen, making it difficult to revisit levels for optimization.
- While some puzzles are challenging, many are too easy, which may not satisfy die-hard puzzle fans looking for a more engaging experience.

The music is well-suited to the game's theme, enhancing the experience without distracting from the puzzles. Additionally, the sound effects, particularly the stone push sounds, are described as cathartic, contributing positively to the overall audio experience.
“The audio is nice too; the music is appropriate for the theme but doesn't take you out of the puzzle mindset. The stone push sounds are very cathartic as well. I can recommend it, especially for the low asking price!”
