The music in the game is described as boring and repetitive, with a short loop that contributes to an overall sense of monotony. This lack of variety in the soundtrack mirrors the game's level design and enemy encounters, leading to a frustrating and uninspired audio experience.
- “The maps are boring and repetitive, the music is boring and repetitive (and on a surprisingly short loop), the enemies all feel poorly designed, especially in the forest area.”
- “Two extremely repetitive areas (cave and forest), no enemy variety, bosses with one attack each, a terribly restrictive and poorly placed teleport system, level design that feels like it was procedurally generated, awkward unrebindable controls, repetitive music, annoying sound effects, nonsensical dialogue, basically no story, and even with the short runtime it seems as though the game wasn't finished.”

- “Two extremely repetitive areas (cave and forest), no enemy variety, bosses with one attack each, a terribly restrictive and poorly placed teleport system, level design that feels like it was procedurally generated, awkward unrebindable controls, repetitive music, annoying sound effects, nonsensical dialogue, basically no story, and even with the short runtime it seems as though the game wasn't finished.”
- “There is no story, only a handful of enemies, and the map is nonsensical.”

The gameplay is criticized for being uninspired and lackluster, compounded by frustrating enemy types and poorly placed warp points, leading to a negative overall recommendation.
- “This, together with annoying enemy types and lack of good placement of warp points, informs my overall recommendation to not play this game. Otherwise, it is simply an uninspired game with lackluster gameplay.”
