The music in the game is generally praised for its engaging and energetic soundtrack, which enhances the workout experience and keeps players motivated. However, some users find it repetitive and express a desire for more music options or the ability to stream personal favorites. Overall, while the soundtrack contributes positively to the game's vibe, its execution leaves room for improvement.

“Music is non-offensive and gets meditative after your first couple hundred squats.”
“Who would have thought that being in a low poly 80's gym with electro pumping music and a scoreboard comparing me to the world would make squatting fun.”

“Music is a bit repetitive, but at least you can turn it off.”
“I kept thinking there has to be an end, but it seemed like it was going on forever; the music and body-shaped tunnels still haunt my sleep...”

The gameplay is engaging but can be confusing at first, as the mechanics are not immediately clear, leading to some initial losses. However, players eventually grasp the unique concepts, such as navigating inverted hurdles in a surreal environment.
“The only quibble I'd mention is that it's not immediately clear what the mechanics of the game are, so you're likely to lose a few rounds without quite knowing why. However, in retrospect, it becomes obvious that you're doing inverted hurdles in a room full of telekinetic amputees.”
