Users express frustration with the music aspect of the game, particularly regarding compatibility issues with BMS files and the inability to import skins. The game fails to function as a pop'n music simulator, often crashing during loading, and the song formats supported do not align with those available from the client.
“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 experience is hindered by the absence of a tutorial and keybinds, leaving players feeling disoriented and confused as they are abruptly thrown into the game.
“No tutorial, no keybinds, throws you into a game with very confusing gameplay and controls.”
