“Also, the music is epic and amazing and really I just have a weak spot for chiptune... 'Winter Wallow' sounds like the ending tune to an epic adventure.”
“This game sucks balls for some reason the entire soundtrack has been overhauled to a loop of a pug breathing. Holy shit, so annoying. Good game before the update though.”
“The music in this sequel is inferior to the original; it's still really good, but I prefer the original.”
“The switching between music every time you die is a really big change and makes me cringe a little.”
