The music aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users reporting issues of malware that plays music in the background without notification, leading to a frustrating experience. Many players expressed a desire for actual music to enhance gameplay, criticizing the lack of sound and the intrusive nature of ads that disrupt their listening experience.

- “I love to listen to music while I'm playing a game.”
- “This app contains malware that plays music in the background, doesn't appear in notifications as playing music. Music would start, stop, and skip tracks randomly.

Do not download this app; the virus that was playing music on my phone seems to have been uninstalled when I uninstalled the app, but I have no idea if there was any other malicious software embedded in the app.”

It has a lot of ads, but because of the cuteness it can sometimes give and the good kind of game texture it makes, then yeah.”
