The music in the game is well-selected and complements the gameplay, though it features only a limited number of tracks. Players have expressed frustration with the frequent track changes upon retries and the abrupt cut-offs, suggesting the need for better continuity. Additionally, the inclusion of volume controls would enhance the experience for those who prefer to play with their own music or without sound.
- “The music is well selected for the type of gameplay; there's only a couple of tracks, but I know how hard it is to get music and use it, especially in a game when you're an indie developer.”
- “The game has no dialogue, but has a pretty good soundtrack.”
- “The music is well selected for the type of gameplay; there's only a couple of tracks, but I know how hard it is to get music and use it, especially in a game when you're an indie developer.”
- “- music switches to a different track every single retry, which is 2-4 seconds”
- “- prevent music from cutting itself off literally every few seconds, this is seriously stupid, just let the tracks play as is”
- “+volume controls - if someone wants their own music on or just wants to play without sound etc, a mute/vol control button would be great.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with reviewers labeling it an "asset flip" that offers minimal original content. The game was quickly bundled into low-cost indie game collections shortly after its release, further reinforcing perceptions of it being a shameless attempt to profit without delivering quality.
- “The developer, Volens Nolens Games, took a template from the godawful Construct 2, changed it only very slightly, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
- “To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap daily indie game shovelware bundles very shortly after launch.”
- “Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs.”
