The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting that while each of the five worlds features its own unique tracks, the music can be repetitive and lacks variety, often looping after only a few seconds. Some players hope for more dynamic changes in the soundtrack to enhance the overall experience, as the current music is seen as average and somewhat uninspired.
- “Really enjoying the game so far, I hope the music changes up throughout the different stages though, that would help keep it feeling fresh as you play through.”

The game lacks a compelling story, leading to repetitive gameplay that can become monotonous for players who are not interested in speedrunning, as each level primarily involves ascending and defeating enemies.
- “If you don't want to speedrun, this game probably gets old quickly because there is no story, and every level requires you to go up a bit, kill all enemies, and that's it.”
