The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its energetic and fitting electronic soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience, while others criticize it for being bland, repetitive, and not well-suited to the neon aesthetic. Suggestions for improvement include allowing players to use their own music and better integrating the soundtrack with the game's rhythm. Overall, while some find the music immersive and enjoyable, others feel it falls short of expectations for a rhythm-based title.
“The game is really fun and the songs make the game even cooler!”
“I really loved the neon theme and soundtrack mix.”
“The ambiance that music and neon colors provide for a fantastic immersion that allows you to disconnect from the outside world and relax in a retro game environment.”
“Music in general could be better and more fitting for a neon style game; it's rather bland in places and repetitive.”
“The round victory music especially seemed rather out of place.”
“Terrible gameplay, terrible sound (and I don't mean 'soundtrack'; I mean literally the sound, overall, is almost painfully low quality; it sounds like it's 8-bit and not even 16k Hz).”

The gameplay is characterized by a challenging color and geometric shapes mechanic that emphasizes movement and the strategic use of teleportation, which enhances player positioning. While mastering these mechanics can take time, many players find the experience addictive and enjoyable, allowing for a relaxed yet engaging shooting experience. However, some users have criticized the overall sound quality, detracting from the gameplay experience.
“The color/geometric shapes mechanic really brings up the challenge; movement is very important in this game, and the teleport is key during the gameplay.”
“Even though you can change your ship's position using the teleport mechanic, some stages start with different positions, forcing you to experiment: both side-scrolling pilots and top-down pilots may enjoy this game for being able to play in the shooting position that they prefer.”

Reviews indicate that the humor in the game is perceived as lacking, with players feeling that the experience is frustrating and unfulfilling, akin to wasting money on a poorly designed prize. The mention of a "funny smelling, cheap stuffed animal" suggests that the humor may come off as more irritating than entertaining.
“I might as well tear up the dollar and throw it away, as that might provide me with a longer, less rigged experience. Plus, I don't have to throw away the funny-smelling, cheap stuffed animal if I win.”
