The music in the game is generally praised for its upbeat and engaging quality, with some players finding it thrilling and fitting for the gameplay. However, the lack of variety, with only one track available, leads to repetitiveness and annoyance over time, especially during extended play sessions. While some players appreciate the soundtrack's energy, others feel it detracts from their focus on achieving high scores, suggesting that the music could benefit from more diversity to enhance the overall experience.
- “The music is thrilling; it keeps you pumped up and ready to face the crazy trials this game will put you through.”
- “I love the music; the UI is different but enjoyable, and the sole game mechanic is lovely to master and experience.”
- “The music and artwork are perfect for the game; it runs super smooth and has a variety of hats and trails to unlock!”
- “The music, sound effects, and customization options are okay, but with only one game mode and not much variety, it gets boring very quickly, even with a 'one more go' mentality to better your score.”
- “Also, the Steam tags indicate 'rhythm', but the music is not connected to the gameplay.”
- “The music is fairly repetitive, but that's no issue.”

The gameplay is characterized by a simple, minimalist mechanic that involves tethering to circles and navigating obstacles, which some players find interesting but ultimately lacking in depth and consistency. While the game is easy to understand and can be enjoyable as a casual time-waster, issues such as randomness undermining skill-based achievements, lag, and a lack of advanced mechanics detract from the overall experience. Despite its potential, many reviewers feel it falls short of being a standout title in its genre.
- “Only a single button is needed for the actual gameplay, and there's a lot of skill involved, which shows how interesting the concept is.”
- “The gameplay is simple; you tether to the circles in your path by holding space, and then orbit around them, detethering by releasing space.”
- “It's not perfect by any means, but it's an inexpensive game with an amusingly simple mechanic.”
- “And I'm not the person to usually nitpick hyper-casual games like this one, but when a game presents skill-based achievements within a game where the player's skill can be undermined by the randomness of the game mechanics, it defeats the purpose of being an achievement, since it becomes luck-based rather than skill-based.”
- “Also, the Steam tags indicate 'rhythm', but the music is not connected to the gameplay.”
- “One More Line bills itself as a 'skill timing game', but the most important aspect in any game of skill is consistency in its mechanics, and One More Line lacks that consistency.”

- “The music and artwork are perfect for the game, it runs super smooth, and has a variety of hats and trails to unlock!”
- “The music is pretty sweet, the graphics are simple but neat, and the style can't be beat!”

The monetization of the game is viewed as a mixed bag; while the Steam version offers an ad-free experience for a one-time purchase, it is criticized as a lazy cash grab compared to free mobile versions that are heavily ad-supported. Players appreciate the uninterrupted gameplay on Steam, especially for those who struggle with the game, but some suggest exploring free online options that also lack ads.
- “I bought this game 7 years ago, and it's still fun! It's a great mobile game that offers an ad-free experience for under $2 on Google Play.”
- “One more line is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a lazy/cheap cash grab.”
- “The problem with that version is that every 3 runs or so, you are bombarded with advertisements.”
- “If you're curious, search the name and play it for free online (that version does not have ads, as far as I can tell).”
