The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its pleasant and vibey compositions that enhance the overall experience. However, some players noted issues with repetitive tracks and abrupt looping, particularly in the final stage. Overall, the soundtrack, combined with the game's visuals, creates a charming and relaxing atmosphere that many players enjoyed.
“Pretty graphics and peaceful music to relax you.”
“The music, sfx, and art were far better than I expected and I really liked my time with it.”
“Rainbow Step consists of gorgeous visuals and music, with each consecutive level outdoing the previous one.”
“The biggest problem I had is how the last stage's manta gimmick overstays its welcome with one too many iterations right before the game ends, and that the looping background music doesn't loop very cleanly with how abruptly it stops then starts again.”
“If you play through the levels more than once, I recommend playing some of your favorite music in the background.”
“Finally, the soundtrack.”
