The music in the game is highly praised, featuring a well-produced soundtrack that includes nostalgic old-school trance tracks, which enhance the gameplay experience. Reviewers appreciate the variety of original music available, contrasting it with other Tetris clones that often rely on a single repetitive track. While some players express a desire for classic 8-bit music for nostalgia, the overall consensus is that the soundtrack significantly contributes to the game's enjoyment.
“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's got a more relaxing style of music and background/block color without having to change it all in settings.”

The gameplay is rooted in classic Tetris mechanics, providing a fun and challenging experience, especially when played with friends through remote options. While the interface is not very intuitive and the visuals are plain, the game offers a variety of customization options and additional modes, including unique mechanics and a garbage mode. However, some players feel that more customization features, such as adjusting countdowns, would enhance the experience.
“At the core, you'll get the classic Tetris gameplay that can be enjoyed with friends - works well using the remote play option as well.”
“Pretty cool extra modes with new mechanics, pieces, and more importantly, garbage mode!”
“There are lots of customization options, both mechanically and aesthetically, though a few extra options would be nice.”
“The gameplay needs to be classic.”
“There are lots of customization options, both mechanically and aesthetically, though a few extra options would be nice (speeding up or removing the countdown and 'out' popups, for example, doesn't appear possible).”
“Pretty cool extra modes with new mechanics, pieces, and more importantly, garbage mode (yay?)!”
