The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it relaxing and fitting for the various levels, others criticize the inclusion of jarring and stereotypical tracks that detract from the experience. Overall, the soundtrack is noted for its thematic relevance, with each level featuring a handpicked score, and recent updates have added more enjoyable music options.
- “It's pretty relaxing and fun, and the soundtrack is very fitting with the locations the levels are showing.”
- “And sure, those weird, totally out-of-place pictures, where the Sydney Opera House can sit right next to Nagorno-Karabakh on the same level, are one thing, but when Christmas music starts playing, then stereotypical Italian or Arabic 'funny' music kicks in—you just get a headache and feel like hysterically laughing and banging your head on the table.”
- “One more thing: after the update, there is a soundtrack in the menu!”
- “Every level has its own soundtrack handpicked for the level theme.”

The story of "gulman" is perceived as a whimsical and nonsensical narrative, reminiscent of a child's imagination, which contributes to its unique charm despite its seemingly disjointed presentation.
- “But if you thought the first part of 'Gulman' was just a random slideshow of images and a silly story from a seven-year-old, think again!”
- “The overall design is a whole other story, probably the main trashy charm of this project.”

The humor in the fifth season is characterized by absurdity and randomness, with impossible levels and incongruous imagery that elicit both frustration and laughter. The use of stereotypical music adds to the chaotic comedic effect, leaving players feeling overwhelmed yet amused.
- “In the fifth season, only two levels remain (and humorously, the second and last one is completely impossible)!”
- “And sure, those weird, totally out-of-place pictures, where the Sydney Opera House can sit right next to Nagorno-Karabakh on the same level, are one thing, but when Christmas music starts playing, then stereotypical Italian or Arabic 'funny' music kicks in—you just get a headache and feel like hysterically laughing and banging your head on the table.”
