- “For example, adding a drummer to your team will introduce drum elements into the background music, a dynamic touch that adds depth to the gameplay experience.”
- “The music design, one of the crucial points of the game, is really pleasing.”
- “However, it's just a metronome game with background music that barely syncs to the beat you're moving in; in addition, the buttons you press don't matter at all.”
- “The basic loop seems to be a vampire-survivors-lite monster killing simulator with the theme of music.”

The gameplay features a unique blend of mechanics, including team-building elements that influence the background music, creating a dynamic experience. However, players have noted a lack of agency in moment-to-moment actions and criticized the rhythm mechanic for being overly restrictive, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the core gameplay loop of surviving waves and collecting resources is engaging, some feel it resembles other titles too closely without the rhythm aspect adding meaningful depth.
- “For example, adding a drummer to your team will introduce drum elements into the background music, a dynamic touch that adds depth to the gameplay experience.”
- “The main gameplay loop is time-based waves where your goal is to survive for a certain amount of time, collecting money which you can use to strengthen your team, add members, or purchase items that give you a stat boost or new global ability.”
- “Game is pretty and the collect and merge band members mechanic is cool, especially how that affects the music you hear by the instruments they play.”
- “While I think the gameplay loop is kind of fun, the lack of agency you have over the moment-to-moment gameplay is a little annoying.”
- “It was a simple 'move in 4:4' mechanic just so they could afford to call it a rhythm game.”
- “Without the rhythm mechanic, it's just a copy of Brotato gameplay-wise. The game only registers perfect inputs for the rhythm mechanic, so... why even have it?”
