The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and lacking variety, as the same track plays throughout different scenes. This led to frustration, prompting some users to mute the game and play their own music instead. Suggestions for improvement include adding more soundtracks and better managing volume levels for a more balanced audio experience.
“I typically try to let the game music play when I receive a key to let all aspects of the game be on show.”
“The music is the same everywhere: the title screen, the gameplay, and it restarts during scene changes, which makes you wonder why if it's going to be the same song.”
“Sound: the music is the same everywhere - the title screen, the gameplay, and it restarts during scene changes, which makes you wonder why if it's going to be the same song.”
“Sadly, it didn't take long for me to kill the music and put my own on.”
