  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players have the option to disable the sound effects and music entirely from the main menu, which offers limited audio customization. Overall, the music does not enhance the gaming experience and is considered a low point.

    • “Sound and background music are rudimentary as well; both can be turned off in the main menu.”
    • “The main menu features only enable/disable effects and music as options (disable everything, it's an ambient loop probably taken from some 20-year-old website) and three different game modes, one of them of course is obvious ('endless mode'); the other two are '10-waves' and 'stress test'.”
