However, there are criticisms regarding the quality of the sound in menus and a desire for more diverse music tracks. Overall, while some players find the soundtrack enjoyable and fitting, others consider it mediocre.

    • “The music in this game matches the gameplay perfectly, so much so that I sometimes forget that the sound effects and the musical score are separated.”

    • “Sound is a mixed bag as well; pumping, trance-like tunes get you into the zone, but while in the menus, the peculiar soundtrack coughs and splutters like a badly distorted fart.”
    • “This is a fairly basic dual stick style arcade shooter with mediocre sound, mediocre music, basic graphics, and yet, is somewhat fun (for short periods of time) and quite challenging.”
    • “- leaves me wanting more music tracks.”
