- “The gameplay itself is boring.”
- “Gameplay is mind numbingly boring, only saving grace is the art - drawing players in under an implication there is customization - there is not.”

The reviews overwhelmingly highlight the absence of music and sound effects in the game, with many players expressing that the lack of audio makes the experience feel awkward and bland.

Overall, the consensus is that the game would benefit greatly from incorporating music to create a more immersive atmosphere.
- “Right from the beginning, I am totally hooked with this game... this game is totally crazy, but I just have one suggestion: why is there no music or sound effects? This game would be more engaging with music playing in the background. I would appreciate it if you guys could add some kind of music or sound in the next update.”
- “The app is still cool; maybe some music would make it feel whole, but for now, I'm okay with playing my own music in the background.”

- “The gameplay isn't similar to ads of the game, there is no soundtrack and the game feels bland; the mechanics of the game are old.”
