The music in the game is considered lacking and somewhat rough, with users noting that it doesn't effectively guide players through various features. However, there is a sense of potential for improvement, leading to a cautiously optimistic outlook for future updates.
- “It's still a little rough around the edges, lacks decent music, and doesn't guide players through the best options when presenting various combinations of features. However, it still has potential, so I'll give it an upvote for now, expecting the developer will continue to improve it, expand it, and flesh it out better over time.”
