The music in this rhythm game is praised for its variety and quality, with multiple genres represented by different DJs, enhancing the overall atmosphere. However, players note a limited song selection and suggest improvements like displaying song titles and adding a favorites section. While the sound effects can be overpowering, the graphics and soundtrack are generally well-received, though some feel the game doesn't quite compete with others in the genre.
- “This music rhythm game is super fun, and with the multiple difficulties, it can be easy enough for a kid or challenging enough for adults.”
- “The atmosphere is great, the graphics are top-notch, and the soundtrack is amazing.”
- “I'm very excited about the DJ system, and how each DJ kind of represents their own genre of music.”
- “It does a lot right, and the multiple genres of music is neat, the graphics are pretty, but it's lacking in song selection, environments, and just overall fun.”
- “Currently does not show the song titles when playing the game; I would love it if the titles were somehow incorporated into the DJ stand, as if it were an LED display or something.”
- “There are only a few songs right now, but as more songs get implemented into the game, it would be great to have a favorites section where I can focus on the songs I like the most.”

The gameplay is engaging and polished, featuring fun mechanics like the dual-popstick and intricate obstacle dodging, making it a blend of boxvr and beat saber. Designed for multiplayer with an arcade style and leaderboard, it offers a fair price for rhythm game enthusiasts. Overall, players find the level design and gameplay to be exceptional, despite initial concerns about the visuals.
- “Keeps you moving with fun game mechanics, and the dual-popstick is a great twist to the game as well!”
- “The gameplay is sort of a mix between BoxVR and Beat Saber, a little less depth because your slashing direction doesn't matter, but it's more polished than both of those.”
- “The gameplay is sort of a mix between BoxVR and Beat Saber, but with a little less depth because your slashing direction doesn't matter. However, it's more polished than both of those.”
- “Taking into account the game is designed to be played by multiple users and not just one individual, with its arcade-style gameplay and a leaderboard, I think the game is priced fairly and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Beat Saber or other rhythm games.”
- “Like some monster run left and right and you have to avoid them, just like your already existing gameplays.”
