The game's music features a catchy 8-bit style as its default, but players have the option to upload their own tracks, allowing for a diverse range of audio experiences across levels. While some may find themselves listening to the same default tunes repeatedly, a mute option is available for those who prefer to play with their own background music. Overall, the music aspect is flexible, catering to various player preferences and enhancing the game's atmosphere.
- “You can also upload a music track to play in the background of your level (provided you have the proper copyrights in order!), which can really help set the mood and atmosphere.”
- “However, since music can be uploaded and most sounds can be altered for each level, most of what you listen to will be a mixed bag of styles.”
- “Some players use the default music, which consequently may increase the amount of time you're listening to the same tunes, but there's a shortcut key to mute all music if you need a break or want to listen to something else in the background while you play.”
- “The game leans towards a catchy 8-bit feel with its default music and sounds.”
