The music in the game is described as deeply emotional and atmospheric, enhancing the experience of the day-night cycle and evoking strong feelings of solitude and reflection. Players have reported being moved to tears by the soundtrack, which they find soothing enough to listen to while drifting off to sleep. However, some users noted technical issues, such as a blank screen during loading that still plays the music.
“It wasn't until the sun set, and that day-night cycle that blended so perfectly reemerged along with a crescendo of the solemn, isolationist music in the background that I let go of the keyboard and just cried.”
“After it loads all of the assets, it just puts me on a blank screen while playing the music.”
“I'm crying silently while listening to the OST every night...”
“Slowly drifting to sleep as the soundtrack faded in.”

Reviews highlight that Bossa Studio's games feature humor rooted in outdated meme culture, which some players find amusing despite its age. The nostalgic gameplay elicits chuckles as players reconnect with familiar mechanics, though the humor may not resonate with everyone due to its dated references.
“Downloading the first island on the list, I immediately went into player view and swung around the island, chuckling slightly as muscle memory and instinct returned.”

The graphics of the game are demanding, leading some players to experience performance issues on less powerful systems, which may hinder their enjoyment until they upgrade their hardware.
“I bought this game when I was in high school with my lunch money, but my computer back then couldn't handle the graphics very well, so I stopped playing for quite a while until I could purchase a new gaming CPU.”
