The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with players finding it slow, repetitive, and uninspiring compared to the upbeat tracks featured in the trailer. Many users expressed disappointment that the in-game music does not match the energetic vibe of similar games like Super Hexagon, leading to frustration rather than enjoyment. Suggestions for improvement include introducing faster-paced tracks or allowing players to select their own music.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“Bought the game because it had fun music in the trailer and many compared it to Super Hexagon, which I really like.”
“The only downside is that the music is really slow; in my opinion, they should either change it to something fast-paced or let us choose our own.”
“This game was fun for a few minutes, but the charm quickly wore off as the boring looped music droned on while frustration mounted after each failed attempt.”
“Very bad music and sound.”
“However, the happy music from the trailer is not in the game, and it's not the same kind of challenge as Super Hexagon has to offer.”

“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
