The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the chiptune tracks and their alignment with the game's fast pace, while others find the overall soundtrack repetitive and lacking in variety, consisting mainly of a few electronic and rock tracks. Notably, the chiptune track is highlighted as a favorite, but many players express disappointment that it is the only standout piece, leading to a sense of monotony. Overall, while some appreciate the music's fit with the gameplay, others feel it detracts from the experience.
- “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.”
- “A simple and fun game with a really nice soundtrack.”
- “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.”
- “There is no artistic value; the environments, you, and the enemies are nothing more than boxes (or cubes, as the name suggests), and the 2-3 electronic music tracks that constantly loop can really get on your nerves.”
- “It's horrible in every aspect, from the too simple and basic gameplay that bores you, to a soundtrack that's so out of place, to the probably bought assets from the Unity store... like it's bad, but even in bad games I can usually find something to enjoy... here it's just mediocrity at its best.”

The gameplay of "Cube Destroyer" is described as simple and addictive, featuring basic top-down shooting mechanics that can be enjoyable but repetitive, with all 75 levels offering little variation in enemies or mechanics. While some players appreciate the challenge and find it fun, others criticize the lack of features such as power-ups, achievements, and controller support, leading to a sense of mediocrity overall. Despite its shortcomings, it may still be worth picking up on sale for a brief, albeit limited, gaming experience.
- “Cube Destroyer is a top-down shooter with dynamic gameplay.”
- “Not the worst game in the world; has pretty fun gameplay all things considered.”
- “Simple but addictive gameplay.”
- “But there's no highscores, no achievements, and the gameplay doesn't make up for the lack of features.”
- “All 75 levels are the same mechanics, starting with all the same enemies you end with.”
- “It's horrible in every aspect, from the too simple and basic gameplay that bores you, to a soundtrack that's so out of place, to the probably bought assets from the Unity store... here it's just mediocrity at its best.”

The graphics are characterized by basic 3D models of cubes and blocky shapes set against a flat surface, featuring simplistic textures that can hinder gameplay, particularly in motion. While the visuals are minimal and not particularly impressive, many players feel that the fun factor of the game compensates for the lack of graphical depth, suggesting that the simplicity contributes to its charm. Some players expressed a desire for additional effects, like explosions, but overall, the graphics are deemed adequate for the game's style.
- “Maybe not some crazy graphics, but they are basic and the game is pretty simply made.”
- “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.”
- “Although the graphics are simple, some extra effects I would have loved to see, such as explosions.”
- “The graphics are really basic, but that's not really an issue, because the fun factor tops anything.”

The game's story is minimal to non-existent, with many users noting a lack of narrative depth and progression, focusing instead on simple gameplay mechanics. Some appreciate the lightness and charm of the game without a complex story, while others express disappointment over the absence of a meaningful plot. Overall, the reviews suggest that the game prioritizes gameplay over storytelling, which may appeal to some players but leave others wanting more.
- “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 unlock, weapon upgrades, etc).”
- “The simplicity makes it pretty light, without having to worry about paying attention to any story.”
