The music in the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying the fun and silly songs, though some express a desire for more variety and the ability to add their own tracks. While the original music pieces are praised for their quality, the gameplay experience is hindered by a lack of a main menu option to switch songs easily. Overall, players look forward to future updates that could expand the music selection and enhance the overall experience.
“The music is fun, the characters are cute and the graphics are well done.”
“I was first attracted by the visuals, but once in the game, I found the original music pieces even more impressive.”
“Got to say being part of the music itself makes a lot of difference for this game, can't wait to have the full version with more content.”
“So it's like 8 songs total.”
“The very first song keeps saying 'try again' when I thought I did it right.”
“It also needs a main menu selection option; once you start a song you can't exit to a different one until the song's over, which forces you to close the game entirely and then reopen it.”

“The gameplay is broken, in my opinion.”
