The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising its fitting afro-Caribbean drumbeats and flutes that enhance the overall atmosphere, while others find it bland and unremarkable.

Overall, the music contributes positively to the experience for some, but leaves others wanting more.
- “Looking at this game is a treat, and the music also helps with that, using a palette of Afro-Caribbean type drumbeats and flutes that seems to fumble and clunk in the same way your curious little abomination does.”
- “The art and music is lovely and the gameplay is challenging enough to be fun but not so challenging it makes you tear your hair out.”
- “Woodblock-styled art and woodwind themed music, together with a fun game mechanic make a really excellent package.”

The story of Incredipede follows Quozzle, a unique creature on a quest to rescue her family after invaders attack her village. While the premise is quirky and the main character is endearing, the narrative is minimal, consisting of only a couple of cutscenes, which some players found anticlimactic and lacking depth. Overall, the storyline is seen as fun but not particularly engaging or original.
- “Incredipede is a qwop-like physics puzzle game where you play as a strange creature named Quozzle, a greenish eyeball creature that is on a quest to find her family after invaders stole everyone in her village except her.”
- “A quirky skill/puzzler hybrid with a lovable main character, a quick and simple story, and an online gallery to share your unique creations.”
- “It also hardly has any story; the whole thing is like two cutscenes right at the start and at the end, and it's pretty anticlimactic.”
- “I honestly didn't pay attention to the story, which involves 2 cutscenes or so I think.”
- “The game follows Quozzle, a lone Incredipede on a quest to rescue her sisters.”

Overall, the game has limited replayability due to repetitive mechanics and short gameplay, often completed in a single sitting. While some players may find value in tinkering with level editors or improving their previous scores, the general consensus is that once completed, the game offers little incentive to return.
- “Overall, it's a short, cute little game with some replay value if you like tinkering with level editors.”
- “I don't feel like there's tons of replay value once you've beaten it, but if you like to try to do better than your previous efforts or make your own puzzle levels, then you may get more of your money's worth out of it.”
- “The game itself has some replayability as well.”
- “Mechanics are fairly limited, puzzles get repetitive eventually, and it loses a lot of its replayability pretty quickly.”
- “However, it is a very abrupt game with little to no replay value.”
- “It has no replayability whatsoever and could be completed in a single sitting on a public computer for cheaper than what it is to buy a digital copy of this game.”
