The music in the game is described as relaxing and fitting the art style, but many players find it repetitive and annoying after extended play, with some opting to turn it off entirely. While it contributes to a pleasant atmosphere, the lack of variety in tracks leads to dissatisfaction for some users. Overall, the music is seen as a minor drawback in an otherwise positive experience, with the option to disable it available.
- “I also love the relaxing yet upbeat music that goes along with it.”
- “The music fits the art style and provides a relaxing atmosphere - though you might get tired of it once playing for too long since there is only one track included.”
- “That's just a very minor negative point amongst all the positive aspects of Entangle, and you can simply disable the music if you wish to.”
- “My only grievance with the game is that the music is really repetitive and gets annoying quickly. Additionally, sometimes it was frustrating how you would solve for 2 of the colors and then just copy/paste what you just did backwards for the other 2 colors, which made many of the puzzles feel repetitive (solving the same thing twice every puzzle).”
- “Music is awful; I turned it off the moment I started playing. It doesn't make sense to put that kind of music in a puzzle game.”
- “The music fits the art style and provides a relaxing atmosphere, though you might get tired of it once playing for too long since there is only one track included.”
