The music in the game is described as cute and relaxing, but it is also noted to be excessively loud and not adjustable, which can be frustrating for players. While the music contributes to the overall charm, it tends to become repetitive over time, and players express a desire for more variety in characters and levels.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“It would be nice if there was a way to turn the music off, and there are a few small glitches (like a few levels where if you jump too high, you'll get stuck until someone kills you), but outside of these minor setbacks, it is a solid game.”
“Music is very loud and not adjustable through in-game menus, so be warned of that.”
“Can't turn off music.”
“The characters and music are really cute, but it does get repetitive and it would be good if there were more characters and levels to unlock.”

The gameplay is designed to accommodate players of varying skill levels, allowing inexperienced players to progress at their own pace, unlike many competitive local multiplayer games. However, the lack of customizable controls can lead to glitches, particularly for those without an n-key rollover keyboard. The nostalgic 2D shoot-em-up mechanics evoke classic games like Joust, Minecraft, and Smash Bros.
“The pace of gameplay depends on the players, so inexperienced players can enjoy this game at their own pace, unlike other local sofa battle games which are focused on experienced, quick-reacting players (e.g. Move or Die or Treadnauts).”
“The 2D shoot-em-up gameplay mechanics are nostalgic, reminiscent of classics like Joust, Minecraft, and Super Smash Bros.”
“The pace of gameplay depends on the players, allowing inexperienced players to enjoy the game at their own pace, unlike other local sofa battle games that cater to experienced, quick-reacting players.”
“Unless you have an n-key rollover keyboard, the lack of customizable controls makes gameplay extremely glitchy.”

The game experiences minor stability issues, including glitches that can cause players to get stuck in certain levels and keyboard-related problems that hinder gameplay. While these setbacks are frustrating, they are not entirely detrimental to the overall experience, though many users feel that customizable controls could significantly improve stability. Overall, the game's stability is rated poorly, with some users giving it a score of 5/10 due to these concerns.
“I would give it a 5/10 in its current state, as glitches make it nigh unplayable with almost every keyboard.”
“The main thing bugging me right now is the keyboard - although the developer is not to blame for keyboard glitches, he could certainly help immensely by investing an hour or two to create customizable controls. I simply do not get why the dev does not make the controls customizable.”
“It would be nice if there was a way to turn the music off, and there are a few small glitches (like a few levels where if you jump too high, you'll get stuck until someone kills you), but outside of these minor setbacks, it is a solid game.”
