The music in the game is described as peaceful and relaxing, featuring a pleasant Hawaiian-style track that complements the gameplay. However, the repetition of a single track can lead to monotony, especially during prolonged play sessions. Players appreciate the soothing soundtrack but some opted to turn it off after a while, with the option to purchase additional tracks available for those wanting more variety.
“Adventure to beautiful tropical islands and solve sokoban-style puzzles with new gameplay elements while listening to the sea and a peaceful, relaxing soundtrack.”
“There's only one music track in the base game, but they chose a nice Hawaiian style one that I didn't mind listening to for a good while, and it is possible to purchase more music tracks separately, especially if you'd like to support this indie developer.”
“I loved the soundtrack :)”
“Has a relaxing vibe, but with only one music track for all the levels, it can become a little monotonous when stuck on a level after several retries.”

The graphics in Sokocat - Islands are described as cute yet somewhat rough, fitting the game's lighthearted theme. Despite the charming visuals, players note that the game does not demand the same level of computational power as more graphics-intensive genres like FPS or RTS games.
“Very cute graphics.”
“I'm not sure what computations the game is running, but it really should not be heating up as much as a graphics-heavy FPS or RTS game.”
“Sokocat - Islands is, simply put, a cat-themed version of Sokoban, with cute but rough graphics.”
