The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying its retro style and others finding it unbearable or lacking in dynamism. Several users express a desire for more control over the music settings, particularly the ability to mute it independently from sound effects. Overall, while some appreciate the music's fit within the game's minimalistic design, many would prefer a different auditory experience.
- “Love the graphics, music, and play control.”
- “A short & fun pico-8 style retro game with good music and speedrunning support.”
- “Music is absolutely atrocious, the settings only allow you to switch the 2 key binds instead of remapping them, and there's too many moves mapped to the previously mentioned 2 keys.”
- “I would rather have a colonoscopy than listen to that music again.”
- “I would have liked the music to be a little more dynamic, but I guess it was a design choice to keep this title a minimalistic game.”
