The music in the game is widely praised for its bright and dreamy quality, with each level featuring a unique musical theme that evolves from a core motif.

Many express a desire for a standalone soundtrack, indicating the music's significant impact on their enjoyment of the game.
“In general, the level design is very cool. When Hannah composed the song, it was just fascinating to watch, plus the gradual construction of a melody from a quiet rhythm into something independent is very well done!”
“Sound design is excellent, with a unique musical theme for each level.”
“The music is super nice too; I really liked how each level has its own musical theme that is essentially a variation on a single core motif. I really hope they release the soundtrack separately, as I'll listen to it a lot.”
