The music in the game is generally described as limited, featuring only one song loop and minimal sound effects, which can become repetitive after a short period. While the existing music is pleasant, players express a desire for more variety, such as additional songs or a lofi playlist, to enhance the experience. Some appreciate the option to adjust the music volume while keeping other sound effects, but overall, the lack of musical diversity is a notable drawback.
“Capoo lofi - if you can incorporate a lofi music playlist, it will be a cute addition at work.”
“The music is nice for 5 minutes; luckily, you can turn it down in the settings while leaving the little Capoo noises on.”
“I hope they add more animations, interactions, etc. Even a bugcat music player where they dance would be phenomenal.”
“After 15-30 minutes, you've likely experienced everything the game has to offer (every animation and every possible interaction, every sound - only one song loop!).”
“There seems to be only 1 song and very few sound effects.”
“I hope they add more animations, interactions, etc. even a bugcat music player where they dance would be phenomenal.”
