The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the selection that fits the gameplay, despite the limited number of tracks. However, there are notable complaints about the frequent track changes upon dying, abrupt cut-offs, and the lack of volume controls for a more personalized experience. Overall, while the soundtrack is good, its implementation could use improvement.
- “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.”
- “+ Volume controls - if someone wants their own music on or just wants to play without sound, a mute/volume control button would be great.”
- “The only complaints I have are the flash every time you pick up a coin and the constant change of music when you die.”
- “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 frustrating. Just let the tracks play as they are.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with reviewers labeling it an asset flip that offers minimal originality and quality. The game was quickly bundled into low-cost indie game collections, further emphasizing its perceived lack of value and reliance on exploiting the market.
- “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.”
- “Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs.”
- “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.”
