Decent Pong-clone that can be fun for a short period.
Easy achievements that can be unlocked quickly, making it a simple game to complete.
Some players find it relaxing and enjoyable for its low price.

The game is a blatant ripoff of Pong, lacking originality and depth.
Poor audio quality and a frustrating AI that can be either too easy or unfairly difficult.
The UI is unappealing and the customization options are extremely limited.

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it enjoyable and fitting, others criticize it for being overly loud and repetitive, leading to an abrupt silence after a short duration. Overall, the soundtrack seems to have moments of appeal but can also detract from the gaming experience due to its overwhelming nature.
- “Good enough game, good music, and it's quite simple to play.”
- “The game begins by destroying my eardrums with annoying, blaring music that runs out after 2 minutes, leaving you in an abyss of nothingness.”
- “It was fun for about 5 seconds when I selected the resolution of my PC before being launched into loud, bassy, mono-droning music (in one ear).”

The gameplay has been criticized for being overly simplistic, resembling a basic "pong" clone, which many users feel does not justify the price point of 79p, suggesting it should be offered for free due to its lack of quality and depth.
- “In fairness, some changes were made to the game template, removing most of the gameplay to create a simple 'Pong' ripoff.”
- “For 79p, this is a complete ripoff; given the lack of quality and gameplay, it should be free.”
