The music in the game is generally well-received, with a polished sound design that evokes a nostalgic 90's feel. However, some players find the soundtrack to be repetitive and lacking ambition, which can detract from the experience. While the in-game music is decent, there is a desire for the option to play personal music.
“I totally dig the sound design and the music, and the polished feeling of everything.”
“The in-game music is decently good, even though I wish I could listen to my own music.”
“There's good music, global leaderboards, and achievements.”
“The only annoyance might be a repetitive, less ambitious soundtrack, and most of the sound effects in general, but that even enhances 'that 90's feel'.”

The graphics of the game are visually appealing, but many users report significant performance issues, particularly when running on high settings, which can lead to extremely low frame rates. Adjusting the graphics settings to low is often necessary for smoother gameplay, indicating optimization problems for higher-end hardware.
“+ good appearance, both graphics and sound”
“I have an RTX 2080 and this runs at less than 1 fps, unless I change the default 'high' graphics to 'low'... and between this issue and the next one, that took literally ten minutes to do.”
“The game defaults to 'high' graphics settings, which on my render PC brought everything down to 30 fps.”
