The music in the game received mixed feedback; while some players enjoyed it, noting its appeal, others found it repetitive and felt it didn't enhance their overall experience, leading them to mute it.
“I really enjoyed the music, though I feel like the loop might be a little short for the amount of sitting and thinking you might be doing overall :)”
“The presentation is fine enough, but I muted the music pretty quickly. I really did not find this fun to play and couldn't even bring myself to finish the bonus levels by the end; it was just no fun at all.”
