The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its quality and variety, often finding it more enjoyable than the gameplay itself. However, the frequent track changes and short duration of each song can be frustrating, as players rarely get to fully experience any single track. Many users express a desire for a standalone soundtrack or DLC to enjoy the music outside of the game.
- “The background music is subtle and helps set the tone without overshadowing the action.”
- “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.”
