The music in the game is generally praised for its lively techno soundtrack and auditory pleasure, enhancing the overall experience. However, some players noted issues with low volume in the main menu and a lack of variety, as the same boss theme is reused frequently. While the soundtrack is enjoyable, there is a desire for more unique tracks to enrich the gameplay.
- “First class collision detection, insanely great levels, and a soundtrack that is an auditory pleasure!”
- “The music is lively, the sprites and artwork are gorgeous, and there are multiple bosses to fight with half a dozen upgradable weapons.”
- “While not the best Mega Man clone out there, the nice sprite work, techno soundtrack, and authentic Mega Man feel make it an enjoyable game despite a few hitches here and there.”
- “I think you were going for some kind of music effect in the main menu, but the volume is so low I was checking my sound to see if it was working correctly - you should just play the song as it is.”
- “It would be nice to have more songs for the game; you recycled the same boss song basically everywhere. It's a good song, but it's nice to have unique themes.”
- “The soundtrack didn't really stick out to me, but I don't have a good ear for what stands out there.”

The gameplay features a creative weapon selection reminiscent of "Journey to Silius," allowing for flexible use without a resource pool, though activating certain modes does require points. However, movement mechanics are criticized for lacking precision, with jumps feeling less responsive compared to traditional Mega Man games. While the level design has its merits, some areas, like the forest level, suffer from poor execution, such as underwater sections that clash with the game's mechanics.
- “The selection of weapons gives me vibes of Journey to Silius, but the mechanics of the weapons here are way more creative: you are free to use the weapon, and it doesn't require any points from a pool unless you activate the mode to.”
- “I don't think that level design here is awful, but a few of them are done very poorly; for example, the forest level has underwater sections even though the game has no water mechanics, only to get hit by enemies through the walls when you can't attack upwards.”
- “The gameplay is serviceable, and I say that because the movement is not perfect; the momentum feels slightly off. Most Mega Man games have jumps that are more sudden and precise, if that makes sense.”
- “I don't think that level design here is awful, but a few of them are done very poorly. For example, the forest level has underwater sections even though the game has no water mechanics, only to get hit by enemies through the walls when you can't attack upwards.”
- “The story is funny without too many things to highlight, and the gameplay is the same.”

The optimization of the game has been noted to struggle with performance when there are too many elements on screen, though this issue is not considered overly bothersome by some players. Additionally, control responsiveness, particularly during gliding and wall tricks, and the limited utility of the shield when not grounded, have also been highlighted as areas needing improvement.
- “The optimization is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even in complex scenarios with many elements on screen.”
- “I appreciate how the game maintains performance, even when there are a lot of visual effects happening at once.”
- “The optimization really shines through, making the experience enjoyable without significant lag or frame drops.”
- “The only problems are some issues with the controls (especially when you try to alternate between glide or do wall tricks), the practically useless shield (because you can't use it if you aren't on the ground and totally still), and the optimization problem when there are too many points on the screen (it's not really annoying in my opinion).”
