The music aspect of the game receives mixed feedback: while the core soundtrack is limited and some songs are considered low quality or hard to enjoy, the extensive and easily accessible community-created songs via workshop are praised. However, players note issues with song selection, inconsistent beat mapping, and a lack of official developer-made tracks, making the experience reliant on a small but growing custom song community. Despite some bugs and difficulty balancing concerns, many find the game’s music engaging and appreciate its unique approach to rhythm gameplay.
- “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 custom songs are easily accessible. You can even download and play new custom songs in multiplayer without having to leave the lobby.”
- “The workshop support is genuinely amazing; each week, I see new songs added to the dev-approved section, meaning the developer is actively reviewing the songs people submit.”
- “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!”
- “Fan made songs for the game are dreadful to play, and I guess the song editor is bad, which is why fan made songs suck so much.”
- “Regarding the song select, sometimes when I have a song selected and then switch to a different song, the previously selected song still plays and the new song's preview does not start playing.”

The gameplay is praised for its unique and innovative mouse-swiping mechanic, providing an addictive and challenging rhythm experience with extensive customization options. However, some players find the swipe-based input less satisfying or imprecise compared to traditional button presses, leading to occasional frustration and a steeper learning curve. While the gameplay is simple to grasp, mastering its nuances and fine-tuning sensitivity settings can be difficult but rewarding for dedicated players.
- “The mechanics seem to be easy to learn, but difficult to master; to which I enjoy.”
- “Easy to understand, the gameplay is forgiving (most of the time lol), quite challenging if you're going for expert maps and above (but honestly I like how difficult it is, it pushes me to get better), friendly devs, and I'm honestly shocked that this game is not that popular in media :o”
- “The selection of beatmaps are constantly increasing in quantity and quality and encourage you to experiment with different swiping styles and techniques (circle swiping my beloved); and there are a variety of settings you can tinker with to fine tune your gameplay style.”
- “Don't get me wrong though, this is a pretty well made rhythm game, and I really respect that, but the main gameplay gimmick of having to swipe your mouse to the rhythm doesn't feel as good as I thought it'd be, and that just kills it for me.”
- “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 graphics receive mixed feedback, with some appreciating the aesthetic and visual effects as satisfying and thrilling, while others criticize the minimalist style as lackluster and detracting from gameplay. Performance issues on lower-end PCs also impact the visual experience. Overall, the visual presentation is praised for its style but may not appeal to those expecting contemporary 3D graphics.
- “The game has very good visuals and effects; the maps are fun, and as beatmap creators improve, the game will have some incredible content.”
- “This is the most satisfying, aesthetic, and thrilling rhythm game to ever grace the cosmos; I simply cannot recommend this game enough.”
- “Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create.”
- “Sacrificing playability for aesthetics is not something I believe belongs in rhythm games and perhaps a 'tone down the bs and just display the thing normally' toggle in the settings could be considered, even if tied to a score penalty.”
- “Then remove the controllers, the graphics (all of them) and the garage band trying to hit the big time and get famous theme, and this is what's left... a shallow ripoff of better games.”
- “This game features very lacklustre minimalist 'art' for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary.”
