- “I love the down to earth but charming pixel art visual style and the game has a very calming, yet uplifting soundtrack.”
- “Great game, great puzzles, great soundtrack.”
- “On the other hand, although the soundtrack is composed of a few synthesized (sometimes melancholic) melodies with some effects mixed in-between, they won't really urge you to mute them as you try to figure out the solution to a certain level.”
- “A lot of attention went into the atmosphere (which can be best described as 'forlorn'), between the pixel art effects and the haunting electro music (the style of which reminds me of 'A Spice Opera', the soundtrack of the Dune game from 1992).”
- “Thought the music was strange at first but it grew on me.”
