The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the visual quality and design of certain maps, while many criticize the lack of customizable graphics settings and options, which limits performance and accessibility. Users have noted that the game feels outdated, with no support for modern resolutions or advanced graphical adjustments, leading to frustration among those with varying hardware capabilities. Overall, while the graphics show potential, the absence of essential settings and updates has left many players disappointed.
- “The game is developed with Unreal Engine 4 and features amazing realistic graphics and supports cross-play between PC and PS4 with the potential to be supported on other platforms (Mac, Xbox One, etc.), including future ones, e.g. PS5.”
- “Graphics look great, but the movement of avatars, the menus, and the physics need some work.”
- “C'mon, it's just a tip off the iceberg, so can't complain lol good graphics and scenario can't wait for it to be finished.”
- “There's no fullscreen or graphics tweaks at all.”
- “No kidding, there aren't any options to adjust graphical quality for those with weaker machines, which is surprising considering even the most bottom of the barrel games have settings for graphics.”
- “Runs really bad, and doesn't have any graphic or display setting that you can adjust so that it will run smoother.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying the club atmosphere and the vibe it creates for socializing. However, there are significant complaints about inconsistent volume levels, a lack of original or quality licensed tracks, and limited audio customization options. While some find the nightclub music enjoyable, others feel it becomes repetitive and annoying over time, especially given the limited activities available.
- “It was a good little game for socializing, I played with a few mates back then and it would be cool to just hang around, playing on the arcade machines, listening and vibing to the music, making my character and my house, and walking around the big fairground hoping one day we could go on the rides.”
- “The music in the nightclub is nice; they give you a starter personal space but it would be nice if it came with furnishing.”
- “It's looking good so far, the bowling game is fun and the music is terrific.”
- “No meter, no specific audio adjustments like music or sound, just a single on/off button.”
- “For example, the music radius in the club public space has an intense cutoff.”
- “There's music but you can't dance or strike any poses, the only things you can do is bowl and sit down (which takes a whole minute).”

The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, glitches, and performance issues that render it nearly unplayable on various platforms. While some acknowledge that the game is in early access and may improve over time, the current state is described as clunky and frustrating, detracting significantly from the overall experience. Many players express disappointment that the developers have not prioritized fixing these issues before releasing the game.
- “This game really sucks. I played this on PlayStation and I just think it's a clunky, utterly trashy, glitchy, and buggy piece of mess. I am surprised it's still alive because this game really failed.”
- “On my PC, it's very buggy; the screen strobes green and makes the game virtually unplayable.”
- “What is not fine, and what I don't understand, is why you would release the game to receive negative reviews when the one thing that you can do in the game (bowling) is buggy and doesn't work.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, particularly on PC, where the game struggles to run smoothly even on systems that meet or exceed the recommended specifications. While some users appreciate the game's optimization for low-end PCs and note improvements in performance over time, others express frustration over the lack of settings options and persistent bugs that hinder gameplay. Overall, the game is still considered poorly optimized, especially in its early access state.
- “The performance is better.”
- “- Optimized for low-end PCs/laptops (which I hope they keep it optimized for low-end PCs).”
- “Performance is being improved, very few crashes now occur at arcade plaza and social functions (such as the block system) are being looked into.”
- “Speaking of the devs, I don't think there's any; the game is a bug fest riddled with performance issues. Unless you have the exact hardware the devs used, there's a guaranteed chance you'll experience massive slowdowns. They didn't even have an options menu for you to set it to windowed.”
- “Ok, so you should understand it is early access, but the minimum and recommended requirements are misleading. I have a computer that exceeds the recommended requirements, and I can't adjust any settings (as far as I know). I average 17fps. This game ran better on console, and I am at or exceed the specifications, but that is my only grievance. Just be mindful that the specs listed are not what you should use to attempt to run this game.”
- “This game is so badly optimized that there isn't lag; it's just slow, and it's locked at what seems to be 30fps and below.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players highlighting aggressive microtransactions and subscription models that overshadow gameplay. Many feel that essential features and decent content are locked behind paywalls, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab rather than a polished experience. Overall, the monetization approach has left users frustrated and skeptical about the game's future viability.
- “I don't recommend putting any money into their one or two microtransactions yet, because who knows if they'll abandon the project or not, but since faith and hope are free, you can have as much of that to your heart's content.”
- “The most obvious one is something most people will obviously hate: microtransactions.”
- “It's expected for a free game to have microtransactions, but this one takes it to the next level of how much they want.”
- “This game shoves free coins and microtransactions into the mix, making everything decent be on microtransactions and making 1-4 items in a selection free coins, even having the nerve to make rows upon rows of subscription items that cost $4.99 monthly just to get.”
