The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its quality and variety, describing it as enjoyable and "jamming." However, the frequent track changes and short duration of each level limit the listening experience, leading some to feel that the design detracts from the overall enjoyment. Players expressed a desire for a separate soundtrack option to fully appreciate the music.
“But what kept me here is the music!”
“Music is pretty jamming for some tracks.”
“Still, I did not buy it to just listen to tracks (soundtrack not offered separately).”
“The music quality is surprisingly decent and varied, but given the short nature of each level and the fact that the track changes between levels, this design choice actually acts against the game as you never get more than a minute at most of each track, and the frequent changing becomes grating on the ears.”
“Would love to listen to it on Spotify or get a soundtrack DLC for download.”
