The music in "Snake Eyes Dungeon" is described as a short, looping piece that plays every 20 seconds, which some players feel lacks variety and depth. While it fits the game's theme, the repetitive nature of the audio may detract from the overall experience, though players do have the option to turn it off. Overall, the music is considered adequate but not particularly memorable.

“The pixely art doesn't strain the eyes, though the music isn't anything to write home about.”

The gameplay is criticized for being overly reliant on luck, with a significant emphasis on RNG, leading to a lack of strategic depth and overall dullness. While the game features charming visuals and pleasant sound design, it ultimately falls short in providing engaging gameplay mechanics, with the only notable feature being the collectible artifacts that offer buffs.
“The only interesting mechanic is artifacts, which are buffs you can collect and select one to equip.”
“Pretty cute, but 96.9% RNG gameplay and progression.”
“It looks charming and the sound design is quite nice; however, it is extremely lacking in actual gameplay.”
“Unfortunately, there's just no gameplay.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be frustrating and often unfair, particularly due to the reliance on RNG and the high costs of upgrades. This leads to a dull late-game experience that detracts from overall enjoyment.
“Fully RNG-based, frustrating, and often unfair, focusing a lot on grinding, this game ended up disappointing me.”
“Upgrades are expensive, which makes this game extremely frustrating and grindy (notable in the late game, which becomes very dull, very fast).”

“The narrative unfolds beautifully, with each mission adding depth to the overarching plot.”

The monetization model primarily revolves around a paid option that allows players to enjoy the game on their computer without advertisements.
“What you're really paying for is the ability to play on your computer and ditch the ads.”
“The monetization model feels exploitative, pushing players to spend more than they should just to enjoy the game.”
“It's frustrating that essential features are locked behind a paywall, making it hard to fully experience the game without spending extra.”
