    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the variety and catchiness of the soundtrack, which includes genres like K-pop and J-pop. However, several users noted issues with timing and synchronization, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience where notes often do not align with the music. Overall, while the soundtrack is generally considered enjoyable, the execution in terms of rhythm gameplay leaves much to be desired.

    • “The music portion of the game is very good (with a few exceptions noted later).”
    • “Music: lots of variety, from Japanese idol pop to Korean dubstep, etc. Wide range and pretty good soundtrack.”
    • “Honestly, the music is really enjoyable and the game is really easy to cheese.”
    • “The timing in some songs seems a bit off, and the time offset feature is rendered useless because the units are wrong.”
    • “Notes never seem to be in time with the song no matter what I try.”
    • “The gameplay doesn't align with the music, which is pretty important for a rhythm game.”
  • story51 mentions

    The game's story is divided into five self-contained arcs, each focusing on different female characters, with plots that range from simplistic and cliché to absurdly humorous. While some players find the narratives entertaining and engaging, often likening them to cheap porn films, others criticize the brevity and lack of depth in character development. Overall, the story serves as a light-hearted backdrop to the gameplay, with mixed reviews on its coherence and execution.

    • “You follow a few different storylines, but basically the gist is that you encounter a girl and begin dating her, which leads you into multiple adventures, like exploring the modeling world, crime scenes, and race tracks.”
    • “The story is separated into 5 self-contained arcs focusing on particular girls, each arc is divided into 4 stages which are locked by a love meter.”
    • “The story and artwork are well worth the lack of gameplay, and as a four-side story kind of game, it delivers on all fronts; I could see a one-shot manga for each of these stories.”
    • “The story of love rhythm ranges from pretty basic porn plots to some genuinely hilarious illogical writing that is so absurd that you can't help but laugh.”
    • “The fifth story (DLC) was a little too 'Harvey Weinstein' for my taste.”
    • “A bad point is the duration of the game; it is very short and the story of each of the 'angels' ends very fast.”
  • gameplay37 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the rhythm mechanics and music reminiscent of games like Guitar Hero, while others criticize it for being poorly executed and unplayable at times.

    • “The rhythm mechanic is fun, but sometimes the difficulty spikes a bit.”
    • “Overall, the gameplay and art make this game worth it for me; the game even has an auto mode for those who aren't interested in the rhythm game aspect.”
    • “It's not a well-made game, but the cheesy nature made the experience sort of fun and worth putting up with, although I wish I could give this a neutral rating instead as it's still a very rough experience from a gameplay perspective.”
    • “The problem is the gameplay; it's borderline unplayable.”
    • “The gameplay doesn't align with the music, which is pretty important for a rhythm game.”
  • graphics25 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their appealing art style and well-executed visuals, with many reviewers noting the quality of the artwork and animations.

    • “Unfortunately, animations didn't align with the art style.”
    • “In overall, I can see that the developer has put a lot of effort into making graphics, but unfortunately this is actually pointing at, if not the worst, a completely wrong way as a rhythm game.”
    • “Differing art styles is very off-putting and not cute at all.”
  • grinding14 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring repetitive play of the same songs to earn rewards that may not feel worthwhile. While some appreciate the replay value and the potential for achievement completion through auto-play, many express frustration with the game's difficulty spikes and the need for precision, making the grinding experience feel more like a chore than enjoyable gameplay. Overall, the consensus is that the game demands significant time investment for limited payoff.

    • “Not only is the music out of sync, but the game is extremely grindy. You also need to be precise, which is almost impossible on the harder levels.”
    • “This game is a bit grindy if you want to see that h scene, which isn't even worth the effort because it's too short!”
    • “It would have been fun and awesome if it weren't for the bug issues, and the game requires hard grinding (no pun intended) by playing the same song over and over.”

    • “Gameplay is basically a non-replayable progressing visual novel.”
    • “The replay value here is if you didn't unlock everything (which is not too important), you'd have to start a new game and make the correct visual novel choices.”
    • “Replay value for starting new data, but the game is somewhat grindy.”
