The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and fit within the gameplay, with some users enjoying the fun visuals that help maintain rhythm. However, many players find the limited number of songs leads to repetitiveness, prompting them to either turn down the volume or play their own music. While the tracks are well-received, there is a desire for more variety to enhance replayability.
“It's endlessly replayable, the visuals are fun and help you stay on beat, and the music should not go that hard.”
“The music choice is awesome and fits a game like this.”
“Great music.”
“It might be easier at first if you turn the volume down so you can't hear the music.”
“The 'tick' noise occurs before the actual beat of the song, so it constantly sounds like the ticks are 'rushing' and going faster than the song itself.”
“But at one point I had to mute the music and play my own because of how repetitive it would get, and the longer I listen to the in-game music combined with the style of the game, it just reminds me of a 2016 Minecraft YouTuber intro.”

The gameplay is characterized by a mix of randomness that enhances response training, distinguishing it from more predictable games like Geometry Dash. However, players note that the core mechanics can feel repetitive and sometimes lead to frustrating moments where inputs are not registered quickly enough, resulting in premature deaths.
“I finally enjoy the randomness of the gameplay because it is not something that you can learn by heart and repeat like Geometry Dash; instead, it trains your responses.”
“The core gameplay is repetitive and often seems to kill you faster than your inputs can be registered.”
“The controls feel unresponsive, making it frustrating to execute even basic actions.”
“The level design lacks variety, leading to a monotonous experience that quickly becomes dull.”
