The software offers a unique and relaxing experience with endless musical inspiration and calming visuals.
It features MIDI export and allows users to import their own sound samples, enhancing creativity and customization.
The graphics are visually appealing, and the program is stable and fun to use, making it a good tool for experimentation.

The game is stable and does not crash, but it suffers from optimization issues that can lead to inconsistent frame rates, particularly when streaming or when visual effects like bloom and particles are set high.
- “The game doesn't crash, but it can be unoptimized for smoothness at times, especially when streaming. High bloom and particle effects can cause frame rate drops.”
- “The game runs without crashing, but there are moments of unoptimization that affect smoothness, particularly during streaming with high bloom and particle effects.”
- “Doesn't crash but is unoptimized for smoothness at times. When I stream this software, if the bloom and particles are high, it sometimes can't keep up with smooth frame rates.”
