The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the house/techno genre and find it enjoyable and addictive, others criticize it for being overly loud and distracting, with a lack of options to adjust the volume. Additionally, the gameplay's fast pace often prevents players from fully appreciating the musical backdrop. Overall, the music is a highlight for some, but its execution leaves much to be desired for others.
“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.”
“For a 3D platformer, the controls are wonky but you get used to it. 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.”
