The game's music is noted as minimal, which some players feel is fitting for the snowfight simulation; however, many believe that adding subtle background music would enhance the overall experience.
“So far, the game is lacking music.”
“While it's appropriate if you want to simulate a snowfight, I feel like the game would benefit from quiet music in the background.”
