The music in the game has been criticized for its repetitive and simplistic nature, with one user noting that the instrumental theme consists of only a few notes, leading them to resort to their own music for a more enjoyable experience.
“The backing soundtrack instrumental theme had a grand total of 7 notes in it, and I listened to them for a few hours before finally running my own MP3 player in the background.”

“I will say that gameplay-wise, there is a delay sometimes in selecting items or accuracy (hitbox), and with a time-sensitive game, that's not a fantastic issue to have.”
