- “The inclusion of voiceovers for each girl adds an extra layer of personality, giving them a sense of individuality despite the lack of deep storylines or character development.”
- “I tried to figure out how to get to the story part but the game is so badly designed I ended up just clicking on icons doing levels which I didn't know if I had already completed or not or if it was progressing me further in the game but eventually I got bored and gave up.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its soft and relaxing quality, effectively enhancing the overall atmosphere without being intrusive.

However, there are suggestions for improving the balance between music and background sounds, as well as enhancements to the user interface during visual novel segments.

- “The soundtrack is soft and unobtrusive, blending easily into the background and reinforcing the calm, casual rhythm.”
