The music in the game is described as enjoyable yet feeling somewhat like an afterthought, contributing to a chaotic but fun atmosphere. It features a unique theme centered around musical instruments, enhancing the gameplay experience despite its messy execution. Overall, while the music may not be the main focus, it adds a lively and entertaining element to the game.
“Yet another bullet heaven title following Vampire Survivors' footsteps, this time one with a messy but enjoyable music theme, with weapons and enemies based on musical instruments, MP3 players, and more.”
“(insofar both the music slaps and well, one fell on my head.)”

The game's graphics have received mixed reviews, with some describing them as reminiscent of "ms paint," leading to a hit-or-miss experience. Additionally, the late-game visuals feature small projectile attacks that can be difficult to discern, contributing to overall concerns about the game's visual clarity and variety.
“The variety and content are currently way too low, the MS Paint-esque graphics are hit and miss, and the late game features extremely small projectile-based attacks that are hard to read.”
“Unfortunately, there are also plenty of issues as of now, particularly with the graphics.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, as they often need to repeat levels multiple times to acquire better weapons and upgrades. This repetitive gameplay can lead to a sense of monotony, as players feel compelled to grind for improvements before progressing further.
“I finished the game's only map on my fourth attempt, and I was stuck with grindy weapons and minimal upgrades to work with.”
“The grinding aspect of the game feels excessive, making progress frustrating and tedious.”
