The music in the game is generally considered decent and fitting for the overall experience, with some players enjoying it as background ambiance. However, many reviewers suggest that if music is a primary reason for playing, it may be better to seek out alternative soundtracks elsewhere, as the game's music may not be compelling enough on its own.
“I think the music is pretty good and fits the game well. I also like the pixel art style the game has going on.”
“As someone else mentioned in their review, the music is just okay.”
“I have opened the game just to have it playing a bit in the background, but if music is why you would want this game, then I recommend looking elsewhere for different soundtracks. If you want something cheap, go to YouTube or Spotify for your music.”
“The music is not compelling enough to justify playing the game solely for that reason.”
