The music in the game is praised for its classic style, which enhances the overall experience by creating a calming atmosphere, even during challenging moments. While most players appreciate how well the music complements the game's aesthetic, some find it to be unusual and suggest that the game could benefit from additional rule sets. Overall, the music effectively aligns with the game's intent and contributes to a smooth user interface.
“Awesome classic music really suits the game to a tee. You end up feeling super calm while playing, even when losing. The red/brown pieces look nicer than normal black; overall, it really knows what the game is trying to be and pulls it off very cleanly. The UI is also really smooth.”
