“The music is not in sync with the levels, so when it does try to sync, it makes you glitch, plus not being able to jump or fly, and it restarts the level with the music still not in sync.”
“The music goes right along with it, but sometimes the game lags and makes the music not synced with my movements, making me lose.”
“The music isn't on beat, and sometimes the songs play faster than they should, which makes it difficult to time jumps properly.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads. While some users appreciate the option to play offline to avoid ads, others find the ads disrupt gameplay, especially during critical moments.

“With no microtransactions, and that's already a big plus.”
“I like this game a lot because there are some versions that are free and you have to pay for the full version, but no in-game purchases, which is good because when you play a game and you like the character you see, having to buy it is sad.”
“This is such a fantastic app that's 100% free yet you get no ads... well, you still get some, but it's only a little bit.”
“Incredible game, I definitely play it a lot, but the one thing that makes me give it only 4 stars is the outrageous amount of ads.”
“The only problem is that a recent update has made the ads more annoying and frequent, which defeats what's basically the entire purpose I downloaded this game: minimal ads.”
“This game is pretty trash because on clubstep when I completed it I thought I was getting an icon but instead I got a color (black). Also, ads like why not just remove it even though you don't have the $2 version.”

“So this is my story on how I got scammed.”
“This game is horrible. I can't get past this one level, even though the level that I'm stuck on is the first level of the game. It's so frustrating! At least give us a tutorial first and teach us how to play the game instead of instantly hitting us with a hard mission that no newbie like me can possibly fathom to complete. It's like the game expects you to learn everything yourself or to instantly be a pro without any initial training whatsoever. My suggestion: add a tutorial.”
“I don't like the fact that you need internet to do everything in there, even in story mode, and I don't see why you need internet for that.”
