Cute and appealing graphics, especially for fans of Genshin Impact and Honkai.
Light on system resources, making it a good option for users with lower-end PCs.
Free to use, providing a basic alternative to paid wallpaper applications like Wallpaper Engine.

Difficult to uninstall, with leftover files that can cause issues even after removal.
Limited interactivity and customization options, making it feel like a bare-bones application.
Misleading marketing, as it does not deliver the interactive experience promised in promotional materials.

The music aspect of the game is generally well-received, particularly for its integration of Genshin's soundtrack, which provides enjoyable background music that automatically mutes when other audio is playing. However, users express a desire for more customization options, such as the ability to pause animations and music, and some criticize the limited variety of animations and the lack of music in certain live features, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “I love the music from Genshin, and there's audio available for many of them. It handles muting itself whenever other audio is playing, so if you're not actively playing anything else (games/videos/etc.), it works great for providing background music automatically.”
- “Lumi is interactive, which I really like; she listens to music and puts on headphones.”
- “While it does sometimes play a different animation depending on a set of circumstances (like dancing to music, for example), the animations repeat themselves far too often for it to make up for the lack of selection you would get in something like Wallpaper Engine.”
- “Pretty cool, I just hate that some of Genshin live got no music and the static is just so bad. I thought it would be like in the game, having some cool effect to make it feel like live wallpaper.”
- “While it does sometimes play a different animation depending on a set of circumstances (like dancing to music, for example), the animations repeat themselves far too often to make up for the lack of selection you would get in something like Wallpaper Engine.”
- “No additional interactions occur with music or clicks, so it seems to be the bare minimum of a free wallpaper.”

The app is praised for its efficient optimization, utilizing minimal resources (around 100MB of RAM and VRAM) compared to other desktop widget and wallpaper applications. Additionally, it features self-management capabilities, automatically pausing or stopping activity when a game or full-screen application is in use.
- “The performance compared to other desktop widget and wallpaper apps is impressive, using only a small amount of resources (around 100MB RAM and 100MB VRAM between both processes). It can self-manage by stopping or pausing activity when playing a game or using another full-screen application.”
- “I love how the app optimizes resource usage, allowing me to run it alongside other demanding applications without any noticeable lag.”
- “The self-management feature is a game-changer, automatically pausing when I'm in a full-screen mode, which keeps my gaming experience smooth.”
- “Performance compared to other desktop widget/wallpaper apps is lacking, as it only uses a small amount of resources (around 100MB RAM/100MB VRAM between both processes), and it struggles to self-manage effectively, failing to stop or pause activity when playing a game or using another full-screen application.”

- “Pretty tedious and could easily be avoided by a setting.”
- “The grinding feels endless and becomes a chore rather than a fun challenge.”
- “I find myself repeating the same tasks over and over, which makes the game feel more like work than play.”
