The music in the game has been widely criticized for its amateur quality, featuring repetitive and monotonous loops that lack variety and fail to enhance the gameplay experience. Most tracks are described as droning and irritating, with only one character providing a slightly different tune that still suffers from poor looping. Overall, the soundtrack detracts from the game rather than adding to it, leaving players unimpressed.
“One character, 'sombrero guy', actually changes up the music with a mariachi tune, but it doesn't loop seamlessly and it grates on the nerves after a while.”
“Music is a droning constant, but not a perfect loop so you'll notice when it restarts every minute or so.”
“Repeating 5 second loop of 'soundtrack' has no variety, despite backgrounds changing, with the exception of the sombrero guy, who has a unique soundtrack which I'm 90% sure you can still hear the sound watermark in it.”
“Everything here just feels so amateur, from the sprite animations to the level designs, and especially the music, which all have this cheap student developer feel that doesn't seem worth paying for.”
“Completed all achievements in a little less than two hours, and the only thought I had was that the soundtrack to this game is going to end up on the CIA torture playlist.”
“The music is terrible; your character is too small, there is no variety in enemy types, and very little variety in terrain.”

“Really fun and cheap option for those who are looking for a 2D runner to have some quick fun and also fancy the pixel-art style of the game.”
“A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”

“There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
