The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its energetic and immersive qualities that enhance the neon visuals, while others criticize it for being bland, repetitive, and not well-suited to the game's theme. Suggestions for improvement include incorporating a more fitting soundtrack akin to "Super Hexagon" and allowing players to use their own music. Overall, while some find the music enjoyable and integral to the experience, others feel it falls short and detracts from the gameplay.
“The game is really fun and the songs make the game even cooler!”
“I've been playing for hours, the music is great and the game has a good pacing.”
“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).”

Gameplay is characterized by a challenging color and geometric shapes mechanic that enhances the experience, with movement and teleportation being crucial elements. While mastering the mechanics may take time, players find the gameplay addictive and enjoyable, allowing for a relaxed approach to targeting and destruction. However, some users criticize the overall quality of the gameplay and sound, describing it as low-quality and frustrating.
“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.”
“Very addictive gameplay; unlike other shmup games, this can be played really relaxed, only focusing on targeting and destroying with the right shot type.”
“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).”
“Even though you can change your ship position using the teleport mechanic, some stages start with different positions, forcing you to experiment with them: both side-scroller pilots and top-down pilots may like this game for being able to play in the shooting position that they prefer.”
“It takes a while to master the mechanics, but once that happens, the experience gets more and more addictive.”

The humor in the game is perceived as sarcastic and self-deprecating, with players expressing frustration over the experience while simultaneously finding amusement in the absurdity of the situation, such as the idea of winning a cheap, funny-smelling stuffed animal.
“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.”
