The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing it as annoying, repetitive, and poorly composed, often consisting of tedious MIDI loops that cannot be turned off. While there are different tracks for each map, the overall sentiment is that the soundtrack detracts from the gameplay experience rather than enhancing it.
- “The soundtrack makes up for the gameplay.”
- “Different music for each of the two maps.”
- “Be able to turn off the music in-game.”
- “Apart from the annoying, tedious MIDI music loop that you can't even turn off by pressing Alt+Tab since it runs in the background, the game features just a simple graphics choice between windowed and fullscreen, while pressing on controls will tell you that you're supposed to play with two unremappable keys, W and S, to move up and down.”
- “The combination of an annoying soundtrack (yeah, only one track lasting some seconds) and the extremely slow movement of every single element on the screen makes the whole thing extremely stupid and pointless.”
- “Music is annoying and the level design is so repetitive that you can actually see the lines where the loops are connected.”
