The music is generally well-received, with praise for its quality, though some players express a desire for a broader selection of tracks. While the fast-paced 8-bit style is appreciated, there are suggestions for a slower tempo and softer synths to better match the game's vibe. Overall, opinions on the music vary based on personal taste.
- “The music is good, though I wish there were more tracks.”
- “The music, on the other hand, is more fast-paced 8-bit game music than eurobeat.”
- “I personally think that it would fit the vibe better if the music had a slightly slower BPM and softer synths with more subtle bass and stronger stabs.”
- “However, music falls more to personal preference, so I don't think I can reasonably knock the review for having a different taste than some.”

The monetization strategy of Deadworld Games has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with the game being described as an asset flip using a low-quality template. It quickly appeared in cheap bundles, reinforcing perceptions of it as a low-effort product aimed solely at profit rather than quality.
- “The developer, Deadworld Games, took a template from the craptastic Construct 2 construction kit, slapped a couple of asset-flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
- “To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap daily indie game shovelware bundles very shortly after launch.”
- “Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs.”
