The music in the game has received widespread praise for its catchy, upbeat, and space-themed qualities, enhancing the overall experience and fitting well with the charming art style. However, some players noted that the music can become repetitive and annoying after extended play, and there are no options to adjust the volume or mute it in-game. Overall, while the soundtrack is considered a highlight, its lack of variety and the inability to control it may detract from the enjoyment for some players.

- “Awesome game, great art style, fire music and cute aliens.”
- “The music is the same as others in the series where it's short and loops while sounding more spacey.”
