Users express disappointment with the music aspect of the game, noting issues with importing BMS files and skins, as well as compatibility problems with song formats. The experience is marred by technical difficulties, leading to frustration rather than enjoyment.
“BMS files got me excited to see how well it would work as a Pop'n Music simulator, only to find out it doesn't work; it just starts loading and then boots you out.”
“I cannot import skins either. Songs downloaded from the client are formatted as 'mc', but Malody V only supports 'mcz' and 'mcb' for some reason.”

The gameplay is criticized for lacking a tutorial and keybinds, resulting in a confusing experience as players are abruptly thrown into the game without guidance.
“No tutorial, no keybinds, throws you into a game with very confusing gameplay and controls.”
“The gameplay feels clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to enjoy.”
“There are too many mechanics to keep track of, leading to a chaotic and overwhelming experience.”
