The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some users feeling misled by the emphasis on custom music, expecting a rhythm game experience. While the gameplay is enjoyable and visually stimulating, the option to add personal music is cumbersome and often results in muted audio, indicating that the game is not primarily focused on music integration. Overall, players can still enjoy their own music externally while playing, but it may not meet the expectations of those looking for a music-centric experience.
“Great way to work out and to listen to your own music.”
“Still, the gameplay itself is fun and the visuals are stimulating without it being tied to music.”
“Not a huge thing - this isn't a music game per se but it just means running some music externally.”
“I was under the assumption this would be a rhythm game, like Audio Shield, since it had an emphasis on custom music.”
“My only negative is that the option to add your own music doesn't work.”
“Doing so for me simply mutes any music, leaving only effects.”

Players find the emotional experience of the game to be intense, as the high stakes of missing a move can lead to frustration, yet the thrill of successfully touching lit cubes in rapid succession creates a sense of joy and excitement reminiscent of classic games like Simon. This blend of pressure and enjoyment contributes to a compelling emotional rollercoaster.
“It's crazy how touching lit cubes in sequence can actually be fun, like Simon but much faster and without pauses.”
