The game features no music, relying solely on repetitive sound effects like clicks and pops during gameplay. This lack of musical variety detracts from the overall experience, which is further marred by frequent ads and a pay-to-win model.
- “I mean, there is no music; the only sound you hear is the same exact click and pop every time you spawn or merge balls.”
- “No music, lots of ads, and pay-to-win mechanics to get items that might do nothing or last only for 5 minutes. The game is fine when none of that is happening, so I would rate it 2.5, but I don't think I can.”
