The music in the game has been criticized for being excessively loud compared to other sound effects, with players expressing a strong desire for volume control options. Additionally, the soundtrack, credited to Grey Killer, suffers from repetitive looping of the same track across multiple levels, leading to player frustration, especially when music is absent in certain instances. Overall, the music experience is seen as lacking variety and control.
- “The music volume is stupidly loud, especially compared to the other game sounds.”
- “For the love of Pete, give us the option to mute the music or to adjust it.”
- “The store page notes a soundtrack by Grey Killer, but I got the same song in consecutive levels and it looped the whole time. The third level didn't have music before it crashed, and I gave up when I got the same objectives as the previous two.”

Users report that crashes frequently occur when transitioning to the second level of the game, suggesting potential optimization issues or script errors related to the level transition.

- “The game suffers from severe optimization problems, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering during gameplay.”
- “I experienced multiple crashes and long loading times, which indicate that the optimization of the game is far from satisfactory.”
