The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising a few standout tracks for their beauty and catchiness, while others criticize the overall music selection as limited and poorly synced with gameplay. Many users express frustration over the inability to easily upload their own music, and the fast-paced songs often lead to timing issues that detract from the experience. Overall, while there are enjoyable elements for music lovers, the game's music system and selection need significant improvement.
- “A really nice game :) absolutely wonderful music, nice visuals, simple but addictive and, most importantly, pleasant gameplay.”
- “This game is absolutely beautiful, just beautiful. As a music lover, I couldn't help saying it out loud when I played it for the first time... highly recommended for music lovers out there, or for anyone that loves music rhythm games.”
- “But, that aside, the 3 songs that are good outweigh those bad things by a long shot, because they're so enjoyable to do, slower than the other songs, enough that the timing is accurate the entire time, throughout the whole song, and listening to the beautiful music of these 3 songs, combined with the dead-on accuracy of the timing in the gameplay during these slower songs, makes for an incredibly enjoyable experience.”
- “For the fast songs, the songs are so fast that the sync can't keep up, the timing gets out of whack, and the turns in the obstacle course don't line up with the song the majority of the time.”
- “It's annoying that you can't upload your music freely to the game, but instead only by contacting someone through an email, just to get a song from your own playlist into the game.”
- “The music barely matches up with the song.”
