The music in the game is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the fun and slick soundtrack, others criticize it for being limited to a single, generic track, suggesting that players might prefer to listen to their own music instead. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as enjoyable but lacking in variety.
“A really nice little game with great graphics, a slick soundtrack and challenging puzzles.”
“The music is fun, and the menu system is very quick.”
“It reminds me of so many games combined into one, the music is great and you could play this on any computer.”
“The music only has one track, and that is generic, so I'd suggest playing your own music.”

The gameplay is criticized for becoming overly complex and challenging after the initial stage, with mechanics that struggle to support the level design, featuring sharp angles and loops. While it offers some enjoyment in overcoming challenges, it ultimately caters primarily to speedrunners, who may still find the mechanics lacking. Overall, the game fails to provide a satisfying experience for a broader audience.
“It's not difficult to the point of you needing to do it over and over again, which can be really fun since you overcome a challenge and perfect your gameplay.”
“However, after the first stage, the game simply devolves into levels that are just too advanced for the mechanics to facilitate them.”
“It's filled with sharp angles, holes, and loops which the game's mechanics just are not ready for.”
“It simply has nothing to offer to anyone except a speedrunner, and for speedrunners, there is the issue of lackluster mechanics.”
