The music in the game receives mixed reviews; some players find the background music unnecessary and annoying, suggesting it should be calmer and more fitting for the gameplay. In contrast, others praise the soundtrack as a masterpiece, claiming it rivals the works of classical composers, though they note that the repetition detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the inability to save audio settings is a recurring frustration for users.
- “First, the masterful music.”
- “It's utter brilliance easily tramples that of the musical genius of Mozart, Beethoven, and even Chopin.”
- “I give Minesweeper Extended's OST a 100/100.”
- “I then immediately came to my senses and muted the obnoxious background music that was bugging me; really not that necessary for a game like this. Maybe if the developer wanted to add music, calmer music would've been fine.”
- “The settings don't save once you leave, so you have to mute the music every time you open the game.”
- “Then just as I feel I am rising to the very heavens, the song repeats.”

- “I actually can't really form any words for how different it makes the game just by changing a small mechanic.”
- “I just observed that the 3D mode's core gameplay is quite similar to Minesweeper Extended's classic mode; however, the genius begins to shine once you stop looking at the innards of the mode.”
- “I am sorry, but I believe they are one in the same as they follow the same core and mostly gameplay.”
