The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the addictive house/techno soundtrack and find it enjoyable, others criticize it as loud and annoying, with a lack of options to adjust the volume.

“What I liked: the music”
“The music in the game is good.”
“The game has a good musical accompaniment, pretty addictive gameplay.”
“It's one of the most dull, lackluster, and overall degrading music jumper games I have ever played.”
“Super loud and super annoying that you can't move while the dude is talking; furthermore, I couldn't find the settings button to turn down the loud music (might not even exist). Do not buy this game.”
“The music genre is mainly house/techno music which I enjoy, but for some players it isn't. The background is most of the time very beautiful, but you don't have enough time to enjoy it as the developer doesn't give the player enough time during the action of that mode.”
