The music in the game is described as simple and relaxing, featuring a short loop that can become repetitive. Players appreciate the ambient tracks for the menu and gameplay, but note that the limited variety and lack of dynamic changes can detract from the overall experience. Additionally, volume settings reset upon restarting the game, which can be frustrating.

- “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.”
- “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.”

The gameplay is criticized for its overly complicated shape-arranging mechanics that lack progression, as no new rules or challenges are introduced throughout the game. This results in a tedious experience where players feel like they are merely repeating the same tasks without any increase in difficulty or variety, further compounded by minimal audio and visual diversity.
- “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 methods of arranging shapes are so complicated; it took me many moons to figure out the puzzle mechanics.”
- “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.”
