Excellent music soundtrack featuring Infected Mushroom that enhances the immersive experience and strongly appeals to fans.
Visually stunning pinball table with vibrant, psychedelic graphics and trippy animations that sync well with gameplay and music.
Engaging and addictive pinball gameplay with a variety of modes, well-designed mechanics, and developer responsiveness to feedback and bug fixes.

VR mode suffers from poor optimization leading to performance issues and graphical artifacts even on high-end hardware.
Game feels niche and has limited content currently, including only one table, lack of tutorials, and limited interactivity in the hub/laundromat area.
Some UI/controls issues especially for desktop and cabinet mode users, including awkward navigation, login/account being mandatory (now optional), and occasional bugs like inconsistent physics and crashes.

The music in the game, primarily by Infected Mushroom, is widely praised for its intense, high-quality psytrance soundtrack that seamlessly integrates with gameplay and visuals, creating an immersive audiovisual experience. Fans of the duo especially appreciate the rich content, references, and dynamic music syncing with game modes, although the limited song selection and some minor polish issues are noted. Overall, the music is considered a standout feature that significantly enhances the game's appeal.
- “The soundtrack, as you'd expect from anything tied to Infected Mushroom, is absolutely top-tier.”
- “Their signature blend of electronic and psytrance drives the action, and it’s not just background music—it feels like you’re playing with the music.”
- “Not only is the music itself great in general, it also blends into the gameplay seamlessly and the music will change and sync with the game depending on situations like triggering a game mode or a mini-game.”
- “Music is really intense for not a whole lot happening.”
- “I kinda expected it wouldn't be great, seeing as how it's a no-name developer on a music artist most people haven't heard of, but this isn't going to make people flock to either the artist or the developer and makes both of them look worse/more amateur.”
- “There's only one table for now and the song selection is very limited, but I know the devs will add more.”

The game's graphics are widely praised for their vibrant, psychedelic, and highly detailed visuals that effectively capture the signature infected mushroom vibe, with smooth animations and strong visual effects enhancing the overall experience. However, VR performance is notably poor and poorly optimized even on high-end setups, with issues like TAA artifacting and unstable graphical settings reported. Despite some menu and physics quirks, the graphics remain a standout feature, especially in special modes, appealing strongly to fans of the aesthetic and music style.
- “The first thing that stands out is the graphics—bright neon colors, trippy animations, and a futuristic design that constantly evolves as you play.”
- “The accompanying visuals also sync with the gameplay and music perfectly and are absolutely stunning to look at in motion.”
- “The visuals are incredible too, a lot of work and attention to detail has gone into it.”
- “With a Quest 2 hard-wired to my system, it runs below 60fps no matter the graphics settings I use in-game, and nothing changes when lowering the VR headset's resolution or framerate limits either.”
- “I've watched videos about it, but it doesn't support all the graphics cards in PES.”
- “The VR world seems to be a bit bonkers with tiles moving about and other tiny visuals here and there for the balls, although ruined by the TAA artifacting from UE5.”

The gameplay offers a creative and immersive pinball experience with smooth physics, special modes, and engaging mechanics, enhanced by dynamic sound design and strategic tilting. However, it suffers from occasional glitches, UI difficulties, lack of depth in features, and some frustrating edge-case mechanics, though ongoing updates and developer responsiveness show promise for improvement.
- “Each table is packed with creative mechanics, challenges, and little surprises that keep things fresh and unpredictable.”
- “There are also special minigames that can be activated that add variety to the gameplay in a unique way.”
- “Especially great is the tilting mechanic which allows for much more strategic gameplay and control of the ball even when it's not making contact with the flippers.”
- “Some fine-tuning here would go a long way in making the gameplay feel more polished and skill-based.”
- “Edge-case mechanics: there are moments (like certain rail shots) where the ball can be unfairly drained.”
- “Ui changes and button options can easily be updated and tweaked, but the most egregious flaws with the title are the lack of depth and features to the actual gameplay, and the bare bones dmd that merely keeps score.”

The game's optimization is generally criticized for poor VR performance, including visual artifacts and sub-par frame rates even in performance mode, though it runs smoothly on high-end hardware. While the visuals and detail are praised, many users find the overall experience hampered by clunky loading, UI issues, and glitches, making updates and optimization essential for improvement.
- “Amazing visuals, but very poorly optimized.”
- “There's an alternate mode where you're just playing in an empty environment (recommended if you encounter optimization issues on the full VR experience).”
- “On my RTX 5090 though, I wasn't experiencing any performance issues.”
- “Another "poor VR performance" review from me.”
- “So it's pretty clear this is not my system's fault here either, and there's zero reason for optimization to be this poor.”
- “The right half of my vision was artifacting and bugging out, and even with it on performance mode the actual performance was sub-par.”

The game currently suffers from numerous stability issues, including glitches with login, menus, and physics, as well as crashes and freezes between games. While core gameplay is relatively stable, environmental interactions and performance require significant improvement. Overall, the game needs more polish to provide a smoother, more reliable experience.
- “I like the game since I'm a big Infected Mushroom fan and I love pinball, but there are so many glitches like login issues and more.”
- “Definitely needs some more work though between various crashes and freezes between games.”
- “Ball glitches through flippers and side walls.”
