The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a decent soundtrack that draws from house, electronic, and trance genres, which many players find enjoyable for raving. However, the lack of synchronization between the music and gameplay elements, along with the inability to add custom tracks, detracts from the overall experience. While the visuals aim to complement the music, they often feel disconnected, leading to a mixed reception regarding the game's rhythm-based mechanics.
- “Review: Project Green Beat tries to do something: tell a narrative by the use of shooting lights onto obstacles, growing score multiplier while a cool female voice cheers you on and tripping out to electronic music and nice level progression through natural, new age, as well as abstract geometrical levels.”
- “The music is something that many people can 'rave' to, and the environments I've played through express a deeper meaning that I intend to explore in time.”
- “Just play the game and enjoy the music!”
- “Being an on-rails rhythm-based shooter that doesn't sync the music to targets is a huge miss.”
- “Be it a cube that is just sitting there being a cube, to balls of light, to flying crystals, etc. that are all supposedly set to the music but feels more like a pretty random visualizer to go along with a decent soundtrack.”
- “The downside is that you cannot add your own songs.”
