The gameplay is characterized by a humorous and engaging rhythm mechanic that involves sliding the mouse to match pitch, complemented by a selection of four instruments. However, players note a lack of content, with only nine songs available, leading to a quick sense of repetition and a desire for more variety. While the game offers a fun experience, it has been compared unfavorably to similar titles, suggesting it may not fully meet players' expectations.
- “There are tons of cheesy jokes, the actual rhythm gameplay with your 'exquisite' notes is hilarious, and there are four different instruments to play with.”
- “It's a cheap price, but the jokes, the presentation, and of course, the gameplay is hilarious.”
- “The developer made a cunning choice to use these instruments to fit in with the current gameplay mechanic of sliding your mouse around to find the pitch and rhythm.”
- “Con: after 30 minutes of gameplay, I've covered all 9 songs + 2 of the 9 workshop items and I'm not sure I still want to hear my badly rendered Gymnopédie No. 1 on the trombone.”
- “Not bad, but not good either... way too similar to Trombone Champ (which I definitely recommend) and not only because of the mechanics, but also other details. There aren't many songs (even the dev acknowledges that) and mod support is lacking.”
- “It's cheap price-wise, but the jokes, the presentation, and of course, the gameplay are just hilarious.”

Players appreciate the replayability of the game due to its unique feature of having four distinct "positions" for each track, reminiscent of MOBA roles. This design encourages different note-playing strategies and enhances the cooperative experience, making each playthrough feel fresh and engaging.

- “With multiple endings and branching storylines, every playthrough feels unique, making you want to dive back in and explore all the possibilities.”

- “The game lacks significant variations in gameplay, making it feel repetitive after just a few sessions.”
- “Once you've completed the main story, there isn't much incentive to go back and replay it, as the side content feels uninspired.”
