The music aspect of the game is highly praised for its flexibility, allowing players to import their favorite songs from YouTube and create custom levels, which enhances the overall experience and enjoyment. While the ability to generate maps from any song is a standout feature, some users expressed frustration over the lack of song previews before downloading and occasional syncing issues.

“I love that you can import your favorite songs and create levels for others.”
“You can import any favorite music of your choice & play with it; this game will always be my favorite because whenever I feel happy or lonely, I play this game with the music that goes according to my mood and it always makes me feel better & brightens up my day.”
“The game is smooth as butter and the song generator (where you can use a local file or YouTube link to put in any song you want and play along with it) is the best feature of this game.”
“The only thing I can complain about right now is that you can't hear a sample of the music you're about to download.”
