25 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music in the game has received praise for its energetic and engaging soundtrack, particularly highlighting contributions from Jimmy Urine, which many players found to be a standout feature. While some users noted that the music enhances the game's character and atmosphere, others expressed disappointment over the lack of an official release for the soundtrack and mentioned issues with volume control. Overall, the music is considered a significant positive aspect, contributing to the game's appeal despite its gameplay challenges.
“First off the good sides: the soundtrack was made by Jimmy Urine, which is just awesome and gives the game a whole character to it.”
“The music is great, the graphics have a nice style, and the gameplay is just nice sidescroller action with a lot of blood and limbs and sometimes more, sometimes not so great humor.”
“The soundtrack of the game is excellent, providing a thumping indie soundtrack including original tracks from Jimmy Urine of Mindless Self Indulgence.”
“There are so many problems that the music doesn't even play.”
“The music is terrible, and the one time I sat through enough horrible sluggishness to see what the game actually contained, it was a Super Meat Boy ripoff.”
“Sound effects and music are also uncontrollable; adjusting your own headphones, speakers, etc. is the only way to change the volume.”
