The music in the game is generally praised for its intensity and quality, with many reviewers highlighting the soundtrack as a standout feature. However, some players find it repetitive and frustrating, especially due to frequent restarts that prevent them from fully enjoying the music. Overall, while the soundtrack is considered awesome and fitting for the gameplay, it can become annoying over time, particularly for those who struggle with the game's difficulty.
- “The soundtrack is dope, but 90% of the time I can't even get to the first drop before I die.”
- “Fun and hard arcade style game with a great soundtrack.”
- “The game is flashy, while not being annoying and has a pretty good soundtrack that might be a bit repetitive at first but keeps unfolding while playing.”
- “On/off music/fullscreen (so no volume control and no screen size whatsoever which is just unacceptable in... well... after 2000!) which already puts it in my not-so-fond-of type of games, it's just not much fun.”
- “The music is getting waaayyy too annoying after the first minute (basically one tune) and by then you've seen everything the game has to offer.”
- “With that being said, Spikit is a fairly primitive form of the genre with only one beat sequence throughout the game and no method(s) of introducing your own music to the mix.”
