The emotional aspect of the game is impacted by the physical limitations of controller positioning, which can hinder player experience. However, users found that adjusting their setup, such as using a stool, significantly improved their comfort and freedom of movement, enhancing their overall emotional engagement with the game.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as it requires them to start with only two songs on an easy difficulty and unlock higher difficulties by achieving specific percentages, which can feel slow and frustrating for those with more advanced skills.
“You only have two songs in the game to start, and you can only begin on easy difficulty. You have to beat easy at a certain percentage to unlock the next difficulty. This makes the game very slow and tedious for players like myself, who can play drums or similar games better than just hitting one drum at a time for the entire song length.”
“The grinding required to unlock new content feels excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
“I found the repetitive nature of grinding for experience points to be incredibly frustrating, making the game feel more like a chore than a fun experience.”
