The music aspect of the game has received criticism for its poor integration with gameplay, as players experience stuttering issues and a lack of synchronization between the music and the on-screen elements. Additionally, the requirement to wait until the end of a song or podcast when using unlimited lives detracts from the overall experience.
“The music selection process begins with choosing a song from the file browser.”
“The boxes you are supposed to hit spawn randomly, but they don't seem to be timed to the music.”
“If you enable unlimited lives, you have to wait until the song or podcast is over.”
“If you finally manage to start a song and don't lose in the first 10 seconds because the right-hand gun does nothing, the music is stuttering.”
“The boxes you are supposed to hit spawn randomly, but they don't seem to be timed to the music at all.”
“If you enable unlimited lives, you have to sit there until the song (or podcast) is over.”
