The music in the game has received positive feedback, with players praising the techno-heavy soundtrack and the contributions of Polish tracker musician Traymuss, which enhance the overall experience. Many users find the music enjoyable and fitting, adding to the game's fun atmosphere, although some suggest that further polish could improve the overall presentation.
“To their credit, they do actually have a real tracker musician from Poland, 'Traymuss', working on the OST, and it shows. His other work is even better, so no lies there.”
“This is a fun game with good graphics and a really good soundtrack, very techno-heavy. I would suggest playing this on a TV with a controller for maximum enjoyment.”
“Love the music too.”
“The music and art direction is okay.”
“I'm glad they removed the demo; that almost made me not buy it after playing it because it was terrible. Anyway, I am very glad I ended up buying it. It is very much improved since then and I am enjoying it very much. It does need some polish though, mainly the reflections could be improved a bit. It looks great for the most part though, and I would love if they eventually could add some DLC, more courses, and other content too. It's definitely worth its price as it is though. Definitely, I recommend it. It is really bringing back F-Zero GX vibes for me the more I play. More new crazy courses please, devs. Love the music too.”

The gameplay of Flashout 3 is characterized by a mix of intriguing mechanics and challenging elements, but it suffers from bugs and awkward design that hinder its overall playability on touch screens. While the graphics are praised and some aspects are likened to the classic Wipeout series, the execution leaves much to be desired.
“Nice graphics, good gameplay, almost as good as Wipeout.”
“Flashout 3 has bits of interesting 'hard-as-nails' gameplay ideas.”
“It plays like a mobile game that has fleshed out too many game mechanics to be adequately playable on a glass touch screen.”
