Many players find the sound effects and music to be overly loud, necessitating volume adjustments for a more comfortable experience. Overall, the music contributes to a negative impression of the game, with some describing it as annoying and poorly integrated.

- “Finally, with the timer ticking down all the time, the often failed jumps, the limited amount of assets that recycle constantly, and the music looping a little too much, you end up back more or less where you started.”
