The game's unique approach to music, where gunfire syncs with classical melodies, offers an interesting rhythm-based mechanic that some players enjoy. However, the lack of a broader music selection and the feeling that the rhythm aspect isn't crucial to gameplay have led to mixed opinions. Suggestions for improvement include adding more contemporary songs and incorporating rewards for shooting in time with the music.
- “The concept of your gun firing to the melody of a song is interesting.”
- “Was fun to shoot in classical music rhythm.”
- “The different songs all changing your fire rate is extremely compelling but it doesn't feel that crucial to gameplay; maybe have it so the player earns rewards like higher damage if they manually shoot on the beat of the song?”
- “I sure love how the vibe game has literally no music.”
- “If it was just an FPS it would be great, but you have to build, and you shoot to the beat of random old pieces of music.”
- “Maybe add more songs to appeal to younger people.”

The graphics of the game have been criticized for being minimalistic and lacking in detail, resembling a tech demo rather than a fully developed product. Reviewers note that the art style is outdated and fails to meet contemporary standards, detracting from the overall experience.
- “Developers desperate to get gamers playing Dance Dance Revolution aside, this is barely better than a tech demo with minimalist graphics and no players, for pretty obvious reasons.”
- “This game features very lackluster minimalist 'art' for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary.”
- “Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create.”

The gameplay is criticized for being underwhelming and lacking depth, with clunky mechanics and a frustrating tutorial experience. While the concept of songs affecting fire rate is intriguing, it doesn't significantly enhance the gameplay, and the building mechanic feels unnecessary and disrupts the intended fast-paced action. Overall, the game shows potential but requires significant improvements to its core mechanics and user experience.
- “The different songs all changing your fire rate is extremely compelling, but it doesn't feel crucial to gameplay. Maybe have it so the player earns rewards like higher damage if they manually shoot on the beat of the song.”
- “The building mechanic is interesting but feels clunky and almost unnecessary. Having to shoot down a series of blocks to be able to do it detracts from the fast-paced gameplay that this game seems to be aiming for.”
- “Overall, it's not a very good game. It has potential, but there is not much to do. The tutorial has no restart button, so if you mess up, you have to close and then re-open your game. The mechanics of the game feel slippery and clunky without trying to be.”
- “The different songs all change your fire rate, which is extremely compelling, but it doesn't feel crucial to gameplay. Maybe have it so the player earns rewards like higher damage if they manually shoot on the beat of the song?”

The game's story is perceived as lacking depth, with the developer relying on player interactions to compensate for insufficient storytelling and level design elements.
- “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
