The music aspect of "Bullet Beat" has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the integration of music into gameplay, particularly how enemies respond to the beat. The default dubstep soundtrack is considered decent, but the game's ability to use custom music is criticized for not responding dynamically, especially with regular beats. While the concept of combining bullet hell mechanics with music is praised, the lack of a purchasable soundtrack and inconsistent gameplay with user-uploaded tracks detracts from the overall experience.
- “Bulet Beat has a unique concept of combining bullet hell gameplay with music and beat mechanics.”
- “The soundtrack, especially the dubstep OST, is pretty decent.”
- “However, one of the main points of the game is that you can upload your own music from your PC, and play generated levels based on the tempo of your music.”
- “The whole 'in tune with the music' doesn't really feel like it pans out though, so if that's the major thing pulling you in, I think you should know it feels like little more than enemies pulsating.”
- “I tested this game’s custom music mode by using 'Can I Have a Word' by Capsule (which isn’t dubstep techno but should have been suitably frenetic), but the gameplay ended up being quite sedate and boring.”
- “Most tracks have only one enemy type (except bumpy squares) and some have no enemies at all because the game can easily go dozens of seconds at a time without spawning anything even though there's music playing.”
