The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its quality and retro style, though some users express frustration over the lack of audio options, such as the inability to adjust music volume or mute it in-game. While the soundtrack is enjoyable, the noticeable looping can detract from the experience, and players would appreciate more levels and additional music tracks. Overall, the music enhances the gameplay but could benefit from improved control features.
“Cool game with nice music and fun gameplay.”
“I didn't expect a lot from a free game and it looked fairly simple, but: it is challenging, has a great soundtrack and has a nice retro style.”
“Missing many quality of life features (controls can't be re-bound or changed, no control over music volume, etc.)”
“Audio options would be great too: since the gameplay doesn't feature any essential sound cues, it's exactly the kind of game that could be enjoyed while listening to something else, but not being able to mute the music interferes with this.”
“I feel like the point where the soundtrack loops might be a little too noticeable, but other than that it's good!”

The gameplay is described as simple and unengaging, lacking depth and sophistication compared to other mobile games, which detracts from the overall experience. While it features various obstacles and straightforward mechanics, players feel that the addition of a workshop and level creator could enhance it significantly. Additionally, the inability to mute the music hampers the potential for a more enjoyable experience, despite some users appreciating the fun elements and nice music.
“Cool game with nice music and fun gameplay.”
“This is free, which is entirely noble, but the quality is poor and the gameplay too shallow for me to recommend.”
“It's got many different obstacles and fairly simple mechanics, and adding a workshop and level creator could really be an improvement.”

The graphics of Daedaluz feature a simple yet appealing low poly neon/vector art style, which enhances the game's fast-paced endless runner experience. While the visuals are not overly complex, they are attractive and well-suited for the gameplay, complemented by easy-to-learn controls.
“The graphics are simple yet attractive, and the controls are easy to get a feel for.”
“Nice yet low-intensity graphics.”
“Fast game with modern-day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on.”
“The graphics are simplistic and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive.”
“The low poly art style feels outdated and doesn't match the expectations for modern games.”
“While the game is fast-paced, the graphics do not enhance the experience and can be quite bland.”
