The music in the game is widely praised for being catchy and enjoyable, with many players expressing a desire to purchase the soundtrack. It effectively enhances the gameplay experience, particularly in its unique blend of Tetris mechanics and rhythm, although some players noted a lack of variety due to limited modes and a small community. Overall, the music contributes significantly to the game's appeal, making it a fun choice for those who enjoy rhythm-based challenges.
“The music is really catchy and feels familiar even though it's all new to me, and I'd actually consider paying for the soundtrack if it was available.”
“It's Tetris, powered by your music.”
“Well, this brings back memories! You got your good old classic Tetris mixed with music, which is awesome, and while you're jamming to the beat, the blocks on later levels move with it.”
“However, the community of this game is very small, which is seen by the number of songs available in the workshop.”
“In the end, I wish that the community will grow bigger since at the moment it seems to slowly die, which is seen in the amount of new songs made.”
“It's kind of jarring to go from tasty jams or finishing a song to just nothing.”

The gameplay is characterized by a rhythmic block alignment mechanic, with dynamic stage scrolling and interactions between blocks, enhanced by a bonus meter. While players appreciate the graphics, music, and engaging mechanics, some express a desire for more control, feeling that the current "messy gameplay" could benefit from refinement. Overall, the game is praised for its fun and evolving design.
“Recommended for the graphics, the music, the fun mechanics, and the fast-evolving developers!”
“Overall, I may have a different concept... like, the 'messy gameplay' is accepted by the designer, while I hope things could be more under control. These are just for reference, but of course, I'll be happy if things change this way.”

“Lining up your blocks to the beat, the stage scrolling up and down or side-to-side, blocks pushing blocks, a bonus meter that affects the gameplay.”
