The music aspect of the game has received negative feedback, with users noting a lack of variety and repetition in the soundtrack, and some even mentioning the absence of music altogether. The overall sound design is described as minimal, featuring only basic sound effects.
“Is that the only soundtrack you have? It repeats itself constantly.”
“There is no music, there aren't many graphics other than the objects floating in a black void, and the sound effects are limited to swish sounds and generic explosions.”

The gameplay has been criticized for being unengaging, with players losing interest within hours, and some feel it lacks depth, suggesting it could be replicated on mobile devices with simpler mechanics.
“I lost interest within hours of gameplay.”
“It could probably be done in similar quality on your phone using tilt mechanics to change the view and swiping or tapping to make it move.”
