The game's soundtrack is generally praised for its upbeat and fitting style, complementing the lighthearted cartoon aesthetic. However, some players noted issues with sharp sound effects, particularly on the Steam Deck, which could detract from the experience. While the music is enjoyable, it may not be memorable enough for players looking to add it to their playlists.
- “The soundtrack is great and fits well with the game's lighthearted, cartoon style.”
- “+ absolute banger of a soundtrack.”
- “For what it's worth, I liked the music a lot.”
- “The immediate first thing I noticed after starting the game was how sharp and piercing some of the sound effects were. I tried on both PC and Steam Deck (Steam Deck first), and the Steam Deck was a lot worse partly because of how loud the high end of those speakers are. I got a headache from playing; my solution was to turn up the music and then turn down the system volume. This will probably not affect you too badly though if you are playing on PC.”
- “- Music wasn't always to my liking.”
