The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable and catchy, while others describe it as overpowering, bland, or even awful. While it adds a unique charm reminiscent of classic racing games, many feel it doesn't always mesh well with the gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a highlight by some, but a significant drawback by others, indicating a divide in player preferences.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“This game reminds me of playing Mario Kart on the N64, only this game has its own unique twist of characters, fruit combos, maps, and music!”
“I recommend because the gameplay is really tight and imaginative, great visuals, great content, and great music.”
“First of all, the music is awful; you should turn it off immediately and find some house songs to play in the background.”
“The music can be set to level 5 and effects to 10, and the music would still overpower the sounds of everything but the slot machine.”
“Awful music, awful physics, and awful gameplay.”
