The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while some players enjoy the fun and colorful soundtrack, many are frustrated by the inability to mute the music or sound effects, which detracts from their overall experience. This limitation has been described as irritating and has negatively impacted players' enjoyment of the game.
“Nice game, fun music and colorful pieces!”
“The 'spin' feature only displays 'free spin ads' and I end up being blocked from not seeing ads. The music cannot be turned off (only the audio effects), which is just mind-blowing. There is no way to leave the app other than going back all the way to the main menu or using Android tasks, and the added layer of complexity killed it.”
“I have no idea if I like the game; I do know that I don't like not being able to turn the music and sound effects off.”
