The music in the game is described as simple and relaxing, featuring two main tracks: an ambient piece for the menu and a standard tune for gameplay, which includes additional sounds upon level completion. However, players note that the music loops quickly and lacks variety, leading to a repetitive experience. Additionally, volume settings reset each time the game is started, which can be frustrating.
- “Simple and relaxing, my only gripe is that the music is on a pretty short loop.”
- “A few sounds make this game relaxing as well as one ambient music (menu) and a relaxing music (puzzles).”
- “The simplistic art that you see in the store page's video is all you will ever see and the two songs (an ambient one for the selection menu and a standard one during gameplay to which whistles are introduced upon completion of a level) are all you will ever hear.”
- “Volume settings will be where you left them, but after turning down both music and sound after a few minutes, I had to do it again every time I started the game.”
- “There isn't even a change in art style or music or anything.”

Gameplay is criticized for its overly complicated mechanics that lack progression, as the puzzles do not introduce new rules or increase in difficulty, making the experience feel tedious and repetitive. Players express that while the initial challenge may be engaging, the absence of variety leads to a sense of monotony, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “The methods of arranging shapes are so complicated; it took me many moons to figure out the puzzle mechanics.”
- “This could be a wonderful game with simple mechanics.”
- “The first puzzle plays the same as the last puzzle because no new rules or mechanics are ever introduced.”
- “The first puzzle plays the same as the last puzzle because no new rules (e.g. no two pieces of the same color can touch) or mechanics are ever introduced.”
- “Tedious because: since no new mechanics are introduced, the difficulty does not increase, and the shapes do not change; it simply feels like a chore to continue playing.”
- “The simplistic art that you see in the store page's video is all you will ever see, and the two songs (an ambient one for the selection menu and a standard one during gameplay to which whistles are introduced upon completion of a level) are all you will ever hear.”
