The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting a limited selection of developer-made songs and frequent issues with song selection and playback. While the community-driven custom song feature is praised for its accessibility, many users find the quality of fan-made songs lacking and the gameplay mechanics unintuitive, making it difficult to feel the rhythm. Overall, while the game has potential, it suffers from technical glitches and a need for more diverse and engaging music options.
“This game is one of the most unique rhythm games on the market right now. On top of it being free, the community is slowly growing, and customs songs are easily accessible. You can even download and play new custom songs in multiplayer without having to leave the lobby.”
“I did enjoy the songs in the game, and I think the swiping gimmick can lend itself to creativity in how the players choose to play.”
“The notes also flow with the music very well, compared to some other free rhythm games where notes feel very random.”
“The lack of music, excluding Steam Workshop, is insane. I would never recommend this!”
“There are only 5 or 6 standard songs at the moment, and some of them are very short.”
“Also, there's the fact that someone published a rhythm game with no pre-included songs, depending entirely on a community that doesn't exist yet, resulting in me being able to play every released song in the last 16 minutes of playtime.”

The gameplay is generally described as easy to understand and addictive, with a unique mechanic that encourages players to improve their skills, especially on expert maps. However, some users find the core mechanics clunky and imprecise, leading to frustrations with accuracy and rhythm feel, particularly due to the reliance on mouse movements. Despite these criticisms, the game offers extensive customization options and a growing selection of beatmaps, making it a compelling choice for rhythm game enthusiasts.
“Very addicting, fun to grind, unique gameplay.”
“Once you get the hang of the game, you can either speed up the beatmaps and/or enable gameplay mods that make the game more challenging, yet rewarding.”
“Incredibly fun and addicting rhythm game with very original gameplay :)”
“The gameplay comes off as imprecise and it feels like missing one note guarantees missing the next five or so.”
“4/10 fun idea, but the gameplay is clunky.”
“The gameplay is just what disappoints me.”
