The atmosphere is enhanced by atmospheric music that, while effective, lacks a memorable theme that could leave a lasting impression, similar to iconic tunes like that of Arkanoid. Overall, users express a desire for a more distinctive musical identity.
“The music is more atmospheric than 8-bit; it would have been nice to have a theme that really stands out, like the tune of Arkanoid, something that would stick in your mind for days. This is more of a wish than a criticism.”
