The music in the game is widely praised for its great variety and quality, featuring a mix of chill and somber tracks that enhance the gameplay experience. Reviewers appreciate how the soundtrack evolves to maintain interest, particularly during the early levels, while also complementing the game's difficulty curve. Overall, the music is described as exquisite and well-suited to the game's atmosphere.
- “Great soundtrack.”
- “Handling feels a little weird at slow speed but very good when you're going fast and really nice chill soundtrack.”
- “For the first few levels of the story mode, you are treated to somber, semi-relaxing music, and to the developer's credit, it changes a second or two after it becomes boring and tired to the ear.”

The gameplay is described as mechanically sufficient but lacking in depth, with short levels and minimal character customization. While some players appreciate the calming atmosphere and a good difficulty curve, others find the star-collecting aspect uninteresting and the overall game systems not particularly engaging. The music is noted as a highlight, enhancing the experience despite the gameplay's shortcomings.
- “Nice gameplay, simple but with a good difficulty curve, especially if we want to get the 3 stars in each level. The music is exquisite and has a lot of soundtracks.”
- “I personally don't find collecting stars interesting, as I was fully onboard just to enjoy the mechanics, atmosphere, and storytelling.”
- “The mechanical gameplay is sufficient, but the game systems were not really very fun, the levels were much too short to be interesting, and the character customization was minimal.”
- “The atmosphere is calming and somber, which is more of a Celeste vibe than I expected from a game about an extreme sport.”
- “The current gameplay is easier to get down the mountain.”

- “In summary -- the atmosphere is calming and somber (which I guess is more of a Celeste vibe than I expected from a game about an extreme sport).”
- “It felt like I was having my plate taken away halfway through eating at a restaurant, and it doesn't match the slow, calming style and tones of the atmosphere.”
- “In summary, the atmosphere is calming and somber (which I guess is more of a Celeste vibe than I expected from a game about an extreme sport). The mechanical gameplay is sufficient, but the game systems were not really very fun, the levels were much too short to be interesting, and the character customization was minimal.”
