The music in the game features electronic vibes that some players found underwhelming, although the tutorial stage's tune received positive remarks. While the music and graphics were initially praised, many reviewers feel that the overall experience has declined, leading to a significant drop in their ratings. Additionally, the audio settings have been criticized for their confusing slider functionality, which complicates the adjustment of music and sound effects.

“The music has very electronic vibes and... I liked the tune for the tutorial stage.”
“The music has very electronic vibes and it didn't particularly stand out for me, but I liked the tune for the tutorial stage.”
“In the options menu, there are two sliders for the audio: one simply labeled 'audio' and the other 'music'.”
“The strange thing is that, while the 'music' slider adjusts the music, the 'audio' slider adjusts not the effects, but the master audio (both music and sounds).”
