The music and sound design in the game are highly praised for their quality and ambiance, contributing to an enjoyable experience, although the gameplay itself may not stand out compared to other platformers. While players appreciate the polished cutscenes and soundtrack, the lack of separate volume controls for music and sound effects is noted as a drawback. Overall, the audio elements are considered a strong point of the game.

“Once again you can expect what Hanoi Studios does best with this game: an amazing work with the audio, soundtrack, and sound design.”
