The music in the game is described as catchy and enjoyable, contributing positively to the overall experience; however, many users find it excessively loud with no options to adjust the volume, which can detract from gameplay.

“I can't make the music quiet, and more should be added.”
“Also, the music is too loud and cannot be lowered; which can be a deal breaker for some of you.”

Users express a desire for a more structured story mode to enhance gameplay, suggesting that a gradual progression through levels would improve the experience. The current lack of a coherent narrative or system leads to a chaotic introduction that hinders player engagement.
“The story is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters and their journeys.”
“I love how the narrative unfolds, revealing deeper layers as you progress through the game.”
“The character development is impressive, making you feel connected to their struggles and triumphs.”
“If only there were a story or something to make it longer.”
“A story mode would be nice, but even without it, there needs to be a system where you start off on an easy level, making simple things, then progress to the next level where you create something else, and then mix them in the following levels. Instead, it's just chaos right away before you can really get the hang of anything.”
