Unique and challenging gameplay mechanic involving dodging beats synced to bass hits offers a fresh take on rhythm games.
The soundtrack includes diverse and local artists, providing a different music experience than typical rhythm games.
Despite some rough edges, the game has a fun, addictive quality resembling popular titles like Super Hexagon and is praised for smooth gameplay and satisfying challenge.

The game suffers from technical issues such as bugs, confusing controls, and difficulty balancing, especially with keyboard input.
Visuals are described as minimalist and lazy, lacking polish or contemporary quality expected from commercial releases.
The project appears unfinished and abandoned by developers, leading to limited content, replayability, and poor public reception.

The music in the game receives mixed feedback: while some praise its refreshing, locally sourced tracks and hope for more variety—including chill and consistent BPM songs—others criticize the current soundtrack as limited, overly focused on rap and hard bass, and occasionally ear-harming. The soundtrack is considered small but promising, with players eager for more diverse and genre-tagged additions to enhance replayability.
- “I really enjoy the fact that all of the artists in the game are local and used as a platform to promote their music.”
- “The music tracks are refreshingly different from similar games and I can't wait for more tracks to be added!”
- “For a free game made by a solo developer, this is a fantastic project, and all I can hope for is a wider variety of tracks to choose from so I don't get sick of the current songs.”
- “"Pentagons go weee" is a really badly made QTE/Dance Dance Revolution ripoff with an ear-harmingly awful soundtrack and a gameplay gimmick where instead of moving in time with the beat, you dodge the beats.”
- “This is a terrible idea even if implemented competently, and unfortunately the technical implementation here is almost as bad as the soundtrack.”
- “Only song tested: Mustand type beat - SRPH (one of the harder ones). On easy, it's clearly easy, but hard is a massive mess, and because of the massive difficulty spike between the two, I tried the last difficulty (impossible), which is more bearable than hard, lasting three times as long. The pentagons move too quickly when the bass drops; there should be a prevention to move 0.3-0.5 seconds before it despawns (bass drop teleport right before it hits you). It's unplayable and offers poor replayability.”

The gameplay is a unique twist on rhythm games, focusing on dodging beats rather than moving in time with them, which some find smooth and satisfying. However, it has been criticized for a poorly executed concept and an unpleasant soundtrack. Adding songs with a consistent beat could enhance the overall experience.
- “The gameplay feels very smooth and is extremely satisfying.”
- “The bass mechanic is cool, and tough.”
- “It would be nice if some songs with a semi-consistent thumpy BPM were added, as a consistent thump could complement the gameplay well.”

The graphics are described as lackluster and minimalist, lacking the detail and quality expected from contemporary 3D visuals. Users feel the art style is unimpressive and falls short compared to modern standards.
- “This game features very lacklustre minimalist 'art' for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary.”
- “Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create.”
stability

The game experiences significant stability issues, including bugs with song selection and navigation that sometimes require closing the game to resolve. Controls are inconsistent, with song scrolling only functioning properly under specific conditions.
- “Buggy: unable to select a song on keyboard. To go back, the game has to close. The song selection only scrolls with the controller if the mouse is over the song selection (left side of the screen).”
replayability

The replayability is hindered by inconsistent difficulty spikes, with the "hard" mode being disproportionately challenging and frustrating, while "impossible" mode surprisingly offers a better experience. Technical issues like sudden, unavoidable movements reduce the game's overall playability and discourage replay.
- “Only one song tested: 'Mustand Type Beat - Srph' (one of the harder ones). On easy, it's clearly easy, but hard is a massive difficulty spike. The last difficulty (impossible) is more bearable than hard, lasting three times as long. The pentagons move too quickly when the bass drops, making it unplayable and offering poor replayability.”
