The gameplay has been criticized for being repetitive and somewhat "rusty," with mechanics that can feel frustrating and unclear, particularly regarding timing. Despite these issues, there is a belief that with further development and refinement, the game could realize its potential for success.
“However, the gameplay is a bit 'rusty' and a bit repetitive.”
“But if the developer focuses on the gameplay more, this game would have much potential to create a very successful game.”
“I like this game so much, but I'm going to refund it because the mechanics are frustrating. I don't like that you need to guess the timing of the rectangles out of nowhere; sometimes it ends up being too fast. Please make it clearer when I need to flick my cursor, thanks.”

The game's music selection is limited, which has led to frustration among players, particularly regarding the inability to add custom tracks. However, the inclusion of a level creator allows for some creative expression, even if the overall experience is marred by the music limitations.
“Along with the small song selection this game has, it has a level creator to let players make levels that weren't in the game before.”
“Adding music is impossible and playing the game itself is excruciating.”
