music3 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music in the game is limited to a single track that loops quickly, prompting some players to turn it off in favor of their own music or silence for better concentration. Additionally, there are technical suggestions for improving the audio experience, such as adjusting the screen resolution.

The controls are very simple, and there are easy ways to backtrack if you accidentally click on the wrong piece.”
“If you are like me and were getting the janky background music on a small black screen, try dropping the resolution of your launch monitor to 1024x768.”
