The music in the game is widely praised for its upbeat, catchy, and energetic qualities, perfectly complementing the cosmic theme and hand-drawn graphics. However, some players noted that the soundtrack can become repetitive over time, and there are no options to adjust the volume or mute it in-game. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, its lack of variety and control options may detract from longer play sessions.

“Music is repetitive.”

“No music settings and the gameplay does not evolve across the many games.”
“The games in this particular series are hit or miss, with sometimes cute animations and surprisingly clever mechanics, and other times a very brief 'game' experience with too much repetition that ends in boredom or frustration.”
