The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising the soundtrack for its ability to match the game's fast pace and enhance the overall experience, particularly enjoying the chiptune track. However, others find the limited number of tracks repetitive and some compositions, especially the rock music, to be unappealing. Overall, while the music can be enjoyable and energizing for some, it may not resonate with all players due to its repetitiveness and lack of variety.
- “Not only that, but the soundtrack matches the game perfectly.”
- “The music is surprisingly good, and one particular track has the same beat as your weapon's rate of fire, which is satisfying.”
- “It's a very good game, I love the music and it really gets the blood pumping.”
- “Now for an overall analysis, when it comes to the sound department, I couldn't stand the music for less than a minute, so I turned it off immediately.”
- “However, when I played the game, the song played for like 5 minutes and then it changed to this god awful guitar music.”
- “There are like two music tracks in the game overall and the other one is a terrible rock tune.”

The gameplay of the game is generally described as simplistic and repetitive, with many reviewers noting a lack of variety in mechanics and enemies across levels. While some appreciate the dynamic shooting mechanics and find the gameplay fun and addictive, others criticize it for being overly challenging and lacking features like power-ups or achievements.

- “Cube Destroyer is a top-down shooter with dynamic gameplay.”
- “Quality gameplay, game of the year.”
- “The gameplay is fun and very simplistic, but it will hook you and make you sit till the very end.”
- “Too many good action games that got top-down shooting mechanics to bother with this rather generic take on the genre.”
- “But there's no high scores, no achievements, and the gameplay doesn't make up for the lack of features.”
- “25 levels in and no power-ups, no different weapons, enemies haven't changed since level 5, and no real change in game mechanics at all.”

The graphics of the game are characterized by basic 3D models of cubes and blocky shapes set against flat surfaces, featuring simplistic textures that can hinder gameplay, particularly in motion. While the visuals are described as bland and minimalistic, some players appreciate the nostalgic arcade aesthetic and argue that the simplicity does not detract from the overall fun of the game. Overall, the graphics are functional but lack depth, with players expressing a desire for more visual effects like explosions.
- “Features: 75 levels, dynamic gameplay, and minimalist graphics.”
- “The graphics are really basic, but that's not really an issue, because the fun factor tops anything.”
- “+ Initially has a sort of nostalgic arcade game aesthetic.”
- “The graphics consist of 3D models of cubes and other blocky shapes, on top of a flat surface (with short walls placed randomly here and there) with thoughtless textures on it (that often make it harder to play, especially in motion, by blurring together with bullets) and stock images of space as a background.”
- “The graphics are bland.”
- “Although the graphics are simple, some extra effects I would have loved to see, such as explosions.”

The game's story is largely absent, with many users noting a lack of narrative depth or progression, reducing the experience to repetitive gameplay without context or motivation. While some appreciate the simplicity and charm of this approach, others find it lacking, as there is no meaningful storyline or character development to engage with. Overall, the focus seems to be on gameplay mechanics rather than storytelling.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “Gameplay better than GTA V, story deeper than The Last of Us and Heavy Rain combined.”
- “Ok, so this is the kind of title which has no story; you take control of this cube (which I assume is supposed to be a tank) and your goal is to destroy all the red enemies that are spread throughout the screen.”
- “Repetitive game, with very basic art, no storyline, and no sense of progression (no skill unlocks, weapon upgrades, etc).”
- “There's not even a semblance of a story or reason given for what's going on or why you should keep destroying those blasted cubes.”
