The music in the game is described as basic and repetitive, with a single track that quickly becomes tiresome, contributing to an overall sense of tedium. The cartoonish aesthetic is complemented by stock music that lacks originality, leading to a feeling of genericness throughout the gameplay experience.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The cartoonish artwork reminiscent of the days of the Magic School Bus is met with the most basic of stock music with a polka foundation.”
“The music creates a nostalgic atmosphere that enhances the overall experience, making it enjoyable despite other shortcomings.”
“Other problems include: hitbox is large enough to get hit by items that have already passed you, a single music track that gets tiring after a very short while, bomb item has about a second delay which makes it useless as a panic button, bosses prioritizing your item drops leading to occasions where you can't finish a boss fight, and difficulty is almost entirely increased by increasing enemy damage.”
“The cartoonish artwork reminiscent of the days of the Magic School Bus is met with the most basic of stock music with a polka foundation, as well as a slew of typical effects like a brief cat meow before leaping to their death in order to hurt you as you ascend the side of the large apartment complex like Spider-Man.”
“This is where the tedious aspect comes into play, as by the third or fourth time through you're just sick of the stock music and nineties children's cartoon aesthetic that is as cardboard and generic as everything else about the title.”

“The cartoonish artwork reminiscent of the days of the Magic School Bus is met with the most basic of stock music, as well as a slew of typical effects like a brief cat meow before leaping to their death in order to hurt you as you ascend the side of the large apartment complex like Spider-Man.”
