The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising the quality and uniqueness of the tracks, particularly enjoying the darker, dubstep-influenced sounds. However, the limited selection of only six songs has been a common point of criticism, with players expressing a desire for more content and the ability to play additional tracks from platforms like YouTube. Overall, while the music is engaging and well-integrated with gameplay, the current lack of variety may deter some players, especially those who prefer a broader range of musical styles.

The gameplay features three distinct mechanics: traditional note-hitting, blocking notes with a moving laser beam, and directional hits, all of which are well-executed and fair in difficulty. The handcrafted beats enhance the dynamic feel of the game, making transitions more engaging and challenging. Overall, it offers a polished experience with unique VR mechanics that cater to fans of rhythm games, despite currently having a limited music selection.
- “There are three mechanics to the game: hitting the notes like a regular drum, blocking the notes in the form of a moving laser beam continually as a run-on note, and directional hits that require you to hit the pad(s) in a specific direction to avoid missing the note.”
- “The beats are handcrafted, which is a vitally important point of difference from more procedurally oriented beat/rhythm games, allowing the gameplay to be a lot more interesting and dynamic. The transitions between each beat feel much more engaging and challenging.”
- “There are engaging unique mechanics like arrows that appear where you have to hit the beat and then swerve the controller in the arrow's direction, along with super neat touches like a character popping up when you reach any hundred combo.”
- “The gameplay feels overly simplistic, with only three mechanics: hitting notes like a regular drum, blocking notes with a moving laser beam for run-on notes, and directional hits that require you to strike the pads in a specific direction to avoid missing notes.”
- “The mechanics are repetitive and lack depth, making the gameplay feel monotonous after a short period.”
- “I found the controls to be unresponsive at times, which led to frustrating moments during gameplay.”

- “+ good visuals”
- “+ crisp visuals”
- “[*] amazing aesthetic and design choice.”
