The graphics of the game have been criticized for being unclear and lacking in aesthetic appeal, with some users comparing them unfavorably to other titles like Tetris™ Splash™. Despite this, there is a suggestion that the game could benefit from a more unique and artistic design approach. Overall, the visuals seem to detract from the overall experience.
“The greatest game of all time has returned with mug graphics that rival even the best looking fish graphics in Tetris™ Splash™.”
“If I had designed this, I would lean very hard into the aesthetic and make unique cards for this game!”
“The graphics are very unclear.”
“If you are in possession of an amount of money that is greater than or equal to £1.69, buy this piece of art not only for the mug graphics but for the ashtray graphics that are sure to send a Tetris™ Splash™ fan into a coma.”

The music in the game is described as a single noir track that, while fitting for solitaire, quickly becomes repetitive and lacks variety. Players express a desire for additional musical options that reflect a broader range of noir themes, as well as more diverse office settings to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, there is a noted issue where the music plays at startup regardless of the volume setting, which can be frustrating.
“If you like solitaire and noir music, then this is for you!”
“I would love to see additional office backdrops, more musical variety (ranging from what one would expect from a 1940's noir movie, to maybe something hard like Advertcity), more weather effects (like torrential, angelic tears from seeing man's sins tier of rain), perhaps more game styles, and more card variety implemented into this game!”
“In its current state, I find it a relaxing game to play after a busy work day, but there are some things to remember: there is a glitch where several of the heart cards are labeled as diamonds so it can be rather confusing; there is only one office setting and only one musical track, which in of itself isn't offensive but can become background radiation real quick.”
“In its current state, I find it a relaxing game to play after a busy work day, but there are some things to remember: there is a glitch where several of the heart cards are labeled as diamonds so it can be rather confusing (one solution is for you to double click on the suspect card to let the game autoplace it correctly (but still can be frustrating if you worked your way up to that six of 'diamonds' only to find it's really hearts!)); there is only one office setting and only one musical track, which in of itself isn't offensive but can become background radiation real quick.”
“Music starts playing on startup even if volume is set to zero.”
