The music in the game has received positive feedback, with many users praising its nostalgic old-school trance vibe and well-produced soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience. Reviewers appreciate the variety of original tracks, noting that a great soundtrack is essential for maintaining engagement, especially in Tetris-style games. Some users expressed a desire for more relaxing music options and the inclusion of classic 8-bit scores for added nostalgia.
“The music is set to some old-school trance which, for me at least, makes me feel quite nostalgic.”
“The make-or-break Tetris games for me always have a great soundtrack that matches the pace of what you're doing rather well.”
“Well, Tetrux has lots of good original music -- somewhere in the slower range or trance music, but perfect for video games like Tetris.”
“Too many Tetris clones have only one song that just keeps playing, and if it's not a good piece of music, it makes the game more boring.”
“The only thing on my list that it doesn't have is the classic 8-bit music score, just for nostalgia.”
“A zen game mode would be nice as well where it has a more relaxing style of music and background/block color without having to change it all in settings.”
