The music in the game, primarily composed by Infected Mushroom, is widely praised for its high quality and seamless integration with gameplay, enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate the intense and engaging soundtrack, which not only complements the visuals but also evolves with the game, creating a dynamic atmosphere. Fans of the band find additional value in the game's content, which is rich with references and easter eggs related to Infected Mushroom, making it a must-try for enthusiasts of both pinball and the music genre.
- “The soundtrack slaps, bumps, and grinds its way right into your brain and will, in fact, live rent-free.”
- “Overall, Infected Mushroom Pinball is more than just a pinball game—it’s an audiovisual trip that blends music, style, and gameplay in a way that’s both unique and insanely fun.”
- “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.”
- “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.”
- “Music is really intense for not a whole lot happening.”

The gameplay of the pinball game is described as a mix of immersive mechanics and creative challenges, with smooth physics and engaging audiovisual elements that enhance the experience. However, users have noted significant issues with the user interface, camera settings, and environmental interactions, which detract from the overall enjoyment. While the game offers unique modes and strategic mechanics, it still faces criticism for lacking depth and polish compared to free alternatives in the genre.
- “Awesome secrets and modes that keep the gameplay interesting.”
- “As you hit ramps, bumpers, and combos, the sound builds and shifts, creating an immersive rhythm that pulls you deeper into the gameplay.”
- “Each table is packed with creative mechanics, challenges, and little surprises that keep things fresh and unpredictable.”
- “I had to navigate through menus to adjust the camera, which is fine, if it would not simply reset it and other controller settings if I hit the B button during gameplay. Also, setting up a backglass and DMD to one monitor is a nightmare and impossible if you want the DMD above the backglass, so I can't even see my game status.”
- “There are going to be glitches, there are going to be performance issues, and there are going to be flaws in the gameplay.”
- “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 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.”
