The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the dubstep and electro house tracks while others find them repetitive and poorly integrated with gameplay. Many noted that the transitions between songs are abrupt and that the music does not sync well with the game's events, detracting from the overall experience. While a few tracks are enjoyable, the lack of variety and responsiveness to gameplay has led some players to turn off the music entirely.
- “Beautiful visuals and a pleasant soundtrack in the game.”
- “The music kept me going through all the levels until I got all achievements.”
- “Wow, this game is crazy; the soundtrack is sick.”
- “Controls are lousy and unresponsive; the music plays randomly and changes in very unpleasant ways, usually very inappropriate to the course of events.”
- “The music is repetitive and kind of sucks, which is frustrating because it's literally called 'Mr. Dubstep'.”
- “It would probably have been even better if the music was somehow incorporated into the stages themselves; right now it's just background music and nothing else.”

The gameplay is characterized by a mix of familiar mechanics, including jumping, dashing, and gravity manipulation, which may feel derivative and reminiscent of mobile platformers. While the controls are straightforward and the game offers a fast-paced experience, the dash and gravity mechanics can be unpredictable and may hinder the overall flow. Despite its casual appeal, players suggest that the game is best enjoyed at a discounted price due to its lack of originality and depth.
- “From the gameplay to the lore, this game is for casual and hardcore gamers alike.”
- “It took me quite a while to finish all the levels and there's almost everything I like in this game: a simple platformer with not-so-complicated controls, straightforward gameplay, and awesome dubstep background music.”
- “But if you get used to the mechanics and if you love fast platformers, you'll like this one; just be sure to buy it on sale given its price, which is too high for me.”
- “Very derivative mechanically and doesn't really have anything to say.”
- “The dash mechanic is really weird; after a dash, you will move really slow because the camera has to catch up with you, and the dash will take into account the gravity that was affecting you, so dashing during a jump will mostly be hardly predictable at best.”
- “The gravity mechanic is also a mess; it slows everything around you down, which again throws off your judgment of speed.”
