Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I like the sound effects and the ambient background music is low-key enough where it didn't annoy me.
9 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
In terms of visuals I still maintain that SiNKR is too busy to classify as truly minimalist.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
aside from 87 levels and a new mechanic, which retroactively got introduced in sinkr a while ago in form of a free level pack, the only new thing is the minimap for selecting levels, which provides a degree of branching progression and the ability to solve levels slightly out of order and skip some tougher ones for the time being. it's pretty nice and levels are marked with 1 to 3 stars to indicate difficulty, plus you can have the map on-screen on the side all the time, even 'fast travel'. moving it around was a bit finicky at first, but a patch shortly after release fixed it, no need for the arrow keys anymore to scroll faster than by dragging the mouse up and down mobile-style, there are handy clickable arrows on the side now.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The minimalist interface, with its absence of score counters or progress bars, ensures that every solved puzzle feels like its own small triumph rather than a step in a race.
