The music in the game has been widely criticized for being monotonous and overly repetitive, with a short loop that quickly becomes grating. Many players suggest muting the game and listening to their own music instead, as the audio detracts from the overall experience.
“The music is atrocious and loops way too much.”
“A cute game concept devastated by one monotonous song that lasts for about 10 seconds and then loops back from the start... if you really want to buy it, play it without any type of audio 'on'.”
“The music becomes repetitive quickly, so I recommend you put on your own music.”

The gameplay of Boneless Zombie is described as initially fun and engaging, with polished mechanics and responsive controls, but it quickly becomes repetitive and frustrating, limiting enjoyment to about half an hour to an hour. While there is some replayability, the outdated graphics and flaws detract from the overall experience, leading to a mixed reception.
“The mechanics are polished and the controls are responsive.”
“Game is funny for 5 minutes, then it becomes frustrating; maybe that's why all positive reviews are after 0.1 hours of gameplay.”

The game's cartoon graphics are generally well-received, with a solid basic design; however, players feel that the environmental graphics lack polish. Additionally, there is a desire for more incentives to collect in-game items, as the current motivation is limited to personal satisfaction.
“The cartoon graphics are quite nice, and the basic idea is fine.”
“I'd also like to see a bit more polished environmental graphics.”
“I'd also like to see a bit more polished environmental graphics, as well as an incentive to collect the bones - as there is no reason to collect them right now, other than satisfaction.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, but they attribute this to the challenge of mastering the controls rather than any flaws in the game itself. Overall, while the learning curve is accessible, the repetitive nature of grinding can become monotonous.
“The grinding feels endless and often tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“The repetitive nature of grinding detracts from the overall enjoyment and makes progress feel unearned.”
“While the controls are easy to learn, the grinding aspect becomes a chore rather than a fun challenge.”
