    • “There is an art to choosing the right music for a game, and they nailed it here.”
    • “In this case, I am pretty sure that in my run I never heard the same song twice, so that means that there is probably around at least 20 minutes of unique music which helps not fatigue the player.”
    • “Given the project and developer size, I would guess that the music is copyright-free music, and some people may look down on that, but the music chosen is really good.”

    • “Also, the music’s tone is neither overly cheery nor sad, just relaxing; too often games that are cute lean too much into the happy and bright sounds, so I can appreciate something more grounded.”
