The music in the game has received high praise for its relaxing and charming qualities, featuring a soundtrack by Big Giant Circles that enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the addition of a new lo-fi track for night mode, although some desire more customizable audio settings. Overall, the soundtrack complements the game's meditative and engaging gameplay, making it a standout feature.
“The tiles have cute voices and faces, each with their own personality, and the music (by Big Giant Circles, who you might know from Just Shapes & Beats among many others) is some of the most relaxing music in gaming.”
“Great game, great soundtrack, easy to spend two minutes or two years on.”
“Combines the best elements of Tetris and a Rubik's Cube: it is a meditative, yet challenging experience, especially now with the new lo-fi soundtrack in dark mode.”
“While the new night mode song is great, it would be nice if that could be toggled in settings for an original experience.”
“Obviously for such a simple game, you wouldn't really expect a crazy number of settings but it would still be nice at the very least if you could pick a resolution instead of only fullscreen or not and no volume options (we can toggle music and sound effects separately on or off but can't say make the music quieter while keeping sfx at full volume).”
“It's pretty much a straight port other than the new song and steam integration, might have been nice to maybe add some new stuff like different skins or maybe something like a timed mode where you see how high you can get in a specific time.”
