While there is an understanding of the game's early access status, the gameplay still leaves some players feeling disappointed.
“I'm going to be honest and say I was a bit disappointed with that but understand since it's probably not a super critical game mechanic you'd focus on during the development of the early access game.”
“The thing I have to say is that the hand mechanics are weird, and I seemed to get bored after about 10 minutes of playtime.”
“Focus on that, and less on the pointless mechanics that just get tiresome.”

Players appreciate the integration of music into the game, particularly in enhancing the experience of creating fireworks displays. There is a strong desire for expanded gameplay features, such as a career mode that allows for diverse show settings, which could elevate the overall enjoyment and justify a higher price point.
“Creating a fireworks display (especially to music) is a terrific concept.”
“If this game eventually gives me the ability to play a career mode where I put on shows in different situations (along the beach at a wedding celebration, behind the stage at a music festival, with a final level on a large bridge during the 4th of July), I'll happily pay you $60 and sign up for whatever DLC you want me to!”
“The music in this game feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I was really disappointed with the soundtrack; it doesn't match the game's vibe at all.”
“The sound effects overshadow the music, which is a shame because it could have added so much to the experience.”
