The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising the fun and varied soundtrack that shifts from cheerful pop to 90s dance club vibes. However, others criticize the low-quality, non-copyrighted electronic tracks, noting glitches and a lack of track variety, as players are limited to a single merging track without options to customize or adjust volume effectively. Overall, while some enjoy the music, others find it unsatisfactory and poorly integrated.
“Add in the fun soundtrack and it's a great game if you understand that what you see is what you get.”
“Great soundtrack - it's wonderful.”
“Sometimes I leave it on just for the music.”
“It comes with non-copyrighted electronic music credited to an artist listed in the top right corner that is very characteristic of a low-quality game and doesn't suit anything whatsoever.”
“And believe it or not, it's also glitched and some music tracks are copied from other songs.”
“There is an option to turn it off, but no choice of tracks; it's just one track that merges from song to song.”

The monetization strategy of Rewindapp has been criticized for being exploitative, as it relies on repackaging others' work into low-effort games primarily designed for mobile platforms, which are then sold on Steam as cash grabs filled with advertisements. This approach raises ethical concerns and detracts from the overall gaming experience.
“Rewindapp has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“While some people might enjoy something like this on their mobile device, which is where these types of games originate, I personally do not understand why people play them or what their purpose is other than being a short-to-code, easy thing to make that you can stuff ads into.”

The gameplay is characterized as overly simplistic, primarily involving mouse clicks to spawn various items like coins, doughnuts, gold bars, or targets, which may limit engagement and depth.

“The mechanics are repetitive and lack depth, making it feel more like a chore than an engaging experience.”
“There is little to no challenge in the gameplay, which quickly leads to boredom and disinterest.”

Players criticize the grinding aspect as being poorly designed, lacking challenge or meaningful goals, as it primarily involves endlessly accumulating levels and coins without any fail state.
“Lazily made with no apparent fail state; you just constantly increase levels with an unending supply of coins, so there's no challenge or goal other than grinding your level higher.”
