The music in the game is generally considered mediocre, with several reviewers noting it as a low point. While it is not offensive and fits the game, many feel it lacks quality and originality, leading to disappointment, especially given that the soundtrack is available for purchase.
“The music is probably the low point, but it's never offensive, just not great.”
“One thing that did kind of stand out was the music which honestly was kind of bad.”
“I'm a little taken aback by the soundtrack actually being for sale.”

The gameplay is described as solid but unremarkable, with a core loop that can become repetitive due to damage taken outside of save rooms, which serve as healing points. While the game is considered worth its low price, the limited upgrades fail to significantly enhance the overall experience.
“Between these two aspects, the core gameplay loop is not getting too worn down by damage you will likely take if you aren't being super careful between the save rooms, which are the source of healing in normal mode.”
“The gameplay is pretty solid if not super interesting.”
“I bought it for $3.49 and I think that's about the limit for what this small amount of gameplay is worth.”
“The few upgrades are lackluster and don't change the feel of the gameplay much.”

“The graphics are simple but pleasant; there are several bosses, and it has a few nice humorous touches here and there.”
“The graphics are minimalistic and low resolution but not without some charm.”
“Everything about it, level design, enemies, graphics, music, and boss fights, are just kind of mediocre.”
“The graphics are simple and mostly fine, but by not having outlines, some of the things blend into the background, like the knives that the kitchen ghosts throw after they die.”
