The music in the game is praised for its engaging spy theme, effectively complementing the gameplay and enhancing the overall experience. While the addictive rhythm gameplay and humor are highlighted, some players noted the repetition of a single track throughout the game, which, although manageable due to the game's short length, could have benefited from more variety. Overall, the music contributes significantly to the game's charm and enjoyment.
“The music, sound design, and gameplay all glue together to create this very enjoyable game.”
“Very solid game, addictive rhythm gameplay, and fun and clean pixel art aesthetic with great music and humor to top it all off.”
“The rhythm/music aspect of this game made it super fun to play, as was the story shared in the chat between the characters, which gave a lot of personality and dimension to a 2D pixel art stick figure and made me want to know more about the person and adventures of Agent Klutz.”
“Only gripes include the same song for the whole game (which is alright, it's short enough to pass, but it's still something) and how you can only move during the on-beat and you can't move during the offbeat.”
