Some Minigore Music Reviews:

"Your iTunes library is available in-game, but at first you'll want to stick with the awesome, cinematic score. It matches the tone of the game perfectly, with a quirky, dark mood that wouldn't be out of place in the Danny Elfman songbook." Posted by Chris Reed, August 3rd, 2009 at slidetoplay.com

"Randomly throughout the game, your character will belt out various vocal quips, and the soundtrack has an epic feel to it that significantly boosts the atmosphere of the game." Posted by Eli Hodapp, July 30th, 2009 at toucharcade.com

"The first time I played Minigore I was heavily impressed by its graphics and gameplay, it wasn't until my second time playing it that I plugged in my headphones. I was pleasantly astounded." Posted by a Member Radish at ipodtouchfans.com

"The audio is also superb. The soundtrack compliments the gameplay perfectly, and the sound effects really pull every other aspect of the game together." Posted by James Piraino, August 26, 2009 at appmodo.com
