The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players noting its repetitive nature, often consisting of only one or two tracks that loop throughout gameplay. While some appreciate the quality of the music, describing it as "banger" and enjoyable even after multiple listens, others express disappointment over the lack of variety and missed opportunities for a heavier metal soundtrack. Overall, the music contributes to the game's atmosphere but may become monotonous for some players.

“Pretty good, 30 levels for a dollar, there is only one song that repeats but it's pretty good even after many listens.”
“Banger music too, even after repeated listens.”
“It didn't, but it was such a missed opportunity for the music to be actual heavy metal which would have pumped me up for playing this way more, and it's what I expected considering the prompt.”
“Kinda sucks, the walljumping mechanics are incomprehensible and are never explained, the music sucks and there are only like two songs and the whole game is really bland.”
“There's a constant music loop and the game doesn't explain wall climbing.”

The gameplay is criticized for its lack of uniqueness and consistency, particularly with the wall-jumping mechanic, which is described as unintuitive and poorly explained. Players find the trial-and-error nature of the game frustrating, compounded by a limited number of levels and repetitive music, leading to an overall bland experience.
“The gameplay isn't actually that unique, momentum wall jumps are cool but there is a little bit of jank when trying to execute them.”
“Gameplay is trial and error, which can be both challenging and rewarding.”
“I would suggest leaning into the unique visuals to create gameplay that feels equally distinctive.”
“The gameplay isn't actually that unique; momentum wall jumps are cool, but this game has a little bit of jank when actually trying to do them.”
“My two complaints are that there are only 30 (29 because level 24 doesn't work) levels, and that the wall jump (the main mechanic) is unintuitive and doesn't work consistently even when you're used to it by level 30.”
“Kinda sucks; the wall jumping mechanics are incomprehensible and are never explained, the music is lacking with only about two songs, and the whole game feels really bland.”
