Reviewers note that the game's music is notably absent, contributing to a bare-bones experience. The lack of a soundtrack is highlighted as a significant drawback, alongside other gameplay limitations such as a short time between waves.
“Right now, it's pretty bare bones - only one map. What I miss the most is the addition of a flashlight (the first thing that needs to be implemented) and the fact that there is no music. Also, the time between waves is very small - only 15 seconds!”
