The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its ability to enhance the racing experience and maintain excitement during gameplay.

- “Lag and FPS advantage (better PC = better gameplay and speed).”
- “Gameplay loop is important; you should get it as good as possible before doing anything else with the game.”

- “It's good for a free game but could use more optimization.”
- “It's better to sell it for $5-6 with content and better optimization than to release a raw product for free.”
