The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while some users appreciate the great background music, others express disappointment over the lack of music at the main screen, viewing it as a missed opportunity for enhancement. Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the gaming experience, but some players feel it could be improved.
“A few things that need to be added to the game are things like time trials. I'm not sure if abilities would help this game or not, but it could be cool. My only problem I've had with the game is that there is no music at the main screen, which is just a personal preference. If this sounds like a pretty good deal, try it for yourself.”
