“Oh and the music... the music is epic.”
“The one thing I really enjoyed from this game is the soundtrack, which honestly is really good that I would listen to every now and again. I do recommend you pick up the soundtrack!”
“I only suggest you pick this up if you are into this genre and want to get some easy achievements, but do pick up the soundtrack because it's really good.”
“The music is solid though it would have benefited from being themed around the levels, which themselves didn't have any themes to their designs.”
“One of the tracks even sounds like 'bad ending' or 'game over' music, and it just plays randomly like every other song that's just cycled throughout the game on a playlist.”
“Music: 6/10 (there are a lot of tracks that play through the levels, randomly, almost like a shuffle playlist.)”
