The music in the game is well-designed, with original tracks that sync tightly with the gameplay, creating an immersive and intense rhythm experience. However, many users note that much of the best music is locked behind progression, and there is a desire for features like custom song uploads and difficulty selection. Despite some tracks not fitting all tastes, the overall music quality and integration enhance the workout and gameplay flow.
- “The music selection is solid, the visuals are clean, and everything feels responsive.”
- “The music is solid, the interface is sleek and colourful, and the workout is awesome.”
- “But what really stands out is the level design — the blocks are perfectly synced with the music, making every movement feel natural and satisfying.”
- “The thing is all the music is locked.”
- “Please add the ability to play your own music, choose the difficulty, and that's it! I'd buy this DLC!”
- “The music selection in the first 4 albums is kinda meh, but we'll see how the rest of the albums sound.”

The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics, smooth motion, and enjoyable rhythm-based interactions enhanced by good haptic feedback. While most find the mechanics flow well and balance fitness with gameplay, some players are frustrated by forced movements like the red wall obstacles, which can disrupt timing. Overall, the experience is engaging and fresh, especially for VR rhythm game enthusiasts.
- “The beats feel good to hit, the haptic feedback feels great, I enjoy the mechanics and how they flow together.”
- “Having played numerous VR rhythm games, I can say that this is the first time I have encountered a boxing-based game with such smooth and refined motion, achieving an excellent balance between gameplay and fitness.”
- “- The unlocking albums mechanic is how VR should be used all the time, super cool.”
- “The red wall things that force you to move are the worst mechanic, and they force you to move too much.”
- “For workout purposes I get it, but for rhythm mechanics, it's pretty annoying since moving messes up the timing of your punches because you aren't where you're supposed to be.”
- “At the same time, disabling the dodge mechanic altogether feels a bit disappointing, as it seems to detract from the experience the developers originally intended.”
