The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate its decent graphics and performance even on low-end PCs, others report significant issues such as crashes on startup and server optimization problems.

- “Optimized even for potato PCs.”

- “Terrible optimization, crashes on startup leaving the entire desktop unusable if not running the 'low end PC' version, questionable terms of service regarding privacy, and either misleading tutorials or way too tight input frames for the aftertouch throws. I won't bother figuring out how to perform curve throws just so I can exit the freaking tutorial!”
- “Never thought the day would come when I would seriously care about my in-game performance.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for locking significant content behind microtransactions and grind, which detracts from the overall enjoyment.
