The music in the game is described as calming and relaxing, effectively complementing the puzzle-solving experience. However, some users noted that the piano background music can become repetitive, and there is a desire for more variety in the soundtrack. Overall, while the music enhances the relaxing atmosphere, it could benefit from additional diversity.
“What is more calming than to solve some puzzles alongside relaxing music?”
“Background music works great with the game.”
“Good relaxing music and a little bit harder than tok (1).”
“An undo button would be nice for those misclicks instead of having to restart the whole level, and more variety of music as well.”
“Same layout featuring a mix of angled and curved turns that make no difference, same relaxed yet very repetitive piano background music, and you can still only turn pieces counter-clockwise.”
“You have relaxing music, relaxing puzzle and an unrelaxing move counter.”
