The music in the game is described as serviceable but tends to become repetitive and forgettable, particularly during prolonged gameplay. While the high score menu features entertaining musical robots that provide brief amusement, the overall soundtrack fails to leave a lasting impression.
“The music is serviceable but does get kind of repetitive (especially if you get stuck on a level) and is honestly very forgettable.”
“The little Rayman-esque musical robots in the high score menu always entertain me for at least 30-45 seconds before I move on.”
