The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking variety, particularly given its dubstep theme. While some appreciate the soundtrack as a decent backdrop, others criticize the abrupt transitions between tracks and the lack of synchronization with gameplay, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the music is seen as a missed opportunity to enhance the game's appeal, with suggestions for more varied and responsive audio elements.
- “Mr. Dubstep is a beautiful platformer with a solid brostep dubstep soundtrack.”
- “The music kept me going through all the levels until I got all achievements.”
- “A side-scroller with beautiful visuals, a pretty good soundtrack, and a cube who is pretty worried.”
- “The music is repetitive and kinda sucks, which is stupid because it's literally called 'Mr. Dubstep'.”
- “It would probably have been even better if the music was in some way incorporated into the stages themselves; however, as right now it's just background music and nothing else.”
- “This ruins the musical experience; you can hardly enjoy any of the cool dubstep music if you're constantly dying or winning (and you'll be doing a lot of both, since the levels are short).”

- “Overall, I give this game a 9/10 stars because of how good the graphics are, and how good the game is for being completely free!”
- “I will say that the graphics are better than most similar games', or at least flashy enough to seem better.”
- “A side-scroller with beautiful visuals, a pretty good soundtrack, and a cube who is pretty worried.”
- “The graphics in this game are not very good.”
- “❌ Poor graphics”
- “I'm really not a platformer fan, but the art style and music made me take a chance on this one, but neither were enough to get me to enjoy a genre that has rarely hooked me in for long at all.”

The gameplay features a mix of platforming mechanics, including dashing and gravity manipulation, but suffers from issues like a slow camera catch-up after dashes and unpredictable movement during jumps. While the controls are straightforward and the game offers a fast-paced experience, the minimalist art style and mobile-app feel may detract from the overall enjoyment. Players may find the game enjoyable after getting accustomed to its mechanics, but some suggest waiting for a sale due to its pricing.
- “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.”
- “The game also features a dash mechanic, which is interesting to see in a runner game because runner games tend to have fixed positions with respect to the camera.”
- “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.”
- “Minimalist/neon style art accompanies lackluster mobile-app style endless runner gameplay.”
- “The gravity mechanic is also a mess; it slows everything around you down, which again throws off your judgment of speed.”

Reviews indicate that while the game offers some fun, it is short with only 25 levels and lacks multiplayer or player-created content, leading to a sense of emptiness after completing it. Players noted that there is no grinding required for achievements, but the later levels can become tedious due to clunky controls and repetitive challenges. Overall, the game may appeal to achievement hunters, but those seeking a more substantial experience may find it lacking.
- “There's absolutely no grinding required in this game.”
- “No grinding necessary.”
- “The controls feel like they only work half of the time and changing gravity is clunky, making later levels unnecessarily tedious.”
- “The last level was pretty much just tedious near pixel-perfect jumps that repeated themselves.”
- “The ending levels are just tedious.”
humor

The humor in the game is perceived as lacking, with players expressing disappointment over the absence of the popular "big chungus" meme, which they believe would enhance the comedic experience. Additionally, a parody song related to the meme highlights the community's desire for more meme integration in the game's humor. Overall, the humor aspect seems to be a missed opportunity for many players.
- “I also think the game would be really good if the funny and popular 'big chungus' meme was in the game, but the developer forgot to add it!”
- “Here are the lyrics to the song 'Big Chungus Ooh Na Na' (parody of 'Havana' by Daft Punk): 'Big Chungus, ooh nah nah, I am a meme of fat Bugs Bunny, ooh nah nah. They think that it’s so funny...'”
- “The humor in this game is top-notch! I found myself laughing out loud at the clever jokes and hilarious character interactions.”
