The game's original music has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it lacking, while others appreciate the colorful visuals and soundtracks. A standout feature is the ability to use personal music libraries, allowing for a more customized experience, though this may limit replayability for those without a diverse selection of songs. Overall, the music aspect enhances the gameplay but may not appeal to everyone.

“Nice soundtracks.”
“A combat-centric game that works to your own music.”
“The music that comes with the game isn't that great, but you can toss your own in there to listen to.”
“Earning points don't feel like they have any meaning; you're always more concerned about making it through a song entirely.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, noted for its uniqueness and fun factor, particularly in the initial stages. However, players express a desire for more content and unlockable features beyond the first 30 minutes to enhance long-term engagement. Overall, while the gameplay is solid, it may lack depth for extended play.
“The gameplay is unique.”
“This is a good game concept that is fun for a short while; the gameplay is fine with no problems.”
“If there was more to unlock with points other than actually interesting gameplay past the first 30 minutes, then I'd be pleased to use what downtime I have for coloring the board for extra points.”
