The game's music is a standout feature, with an adaptive soundtrack that evolves based on the characters players recruit, adding a dynamic layer to the gameplay. While many praise the pleasing music design and the engaging mechanics of merging band members, some players feel that the gameplay's reliance on a metronome-like rhythm detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the music is celebrated for its quality and integration into the game's narrative and mechanics, enhancing player enjoyment.
“A standout feature is the adaptive music, which changes depending on the characters you recruit.”
“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.”
“I play the music in my head.”

The gameplay is characterized by a unique blend of mechanics, including team-building elements that influence the background music, creating a dynamic experience. While the core gameplay loop is engaging, some players express frustration over limited player agency and the rhythm mechanics, which can feel restrictive and overly reliant on perfect inputs. Overall, the game shows promise with its interesting concepts, though it may benefit from further refinement before its full release.
“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.”
“Great music, interesting character designs, and unique gameplay.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Without the rhythm mechanic, it's just a copy of Brotato gameplay-wise, but the reason I didn't go further is that the game only registers perfect inputs for the rhythm mechanic. So... why even have it?”
“It was a simple 'move in 4:4' mechanic just so they could afford to call it a rhythm game.”

The game features a narrative centered on the global disappearance of music, enhanced by an echo system that reveals story elements through dialogue unlocked by completing levels. Players can interact with musicians in the lobby to increase their favorability, which affects gameplay, but the story can be easily skipped without impacting the overall experience. While optional, these story elements add a polished feel to the game.
“The game features intriguing story elements, including musician communication where talking to them in the lobby increases favorability, enhancing their damage in stages. The main narrative revolves around the global disappearance of music, and an echo system allows players to unlock small pieces of dialogue with each level completion, filling in story gaps.”
“These story pieces can be completely skipped as they don't impact gameplay (except for favorability, but all dialogue can be quickly skipped). However, it's a nice touch that adds polish to the game.”
“These story pieces can be completely skipped as it doesn't impact gameplay (except favourability, but all dialogue can be quickly skipped) although it is a nice touch to make the game feel polished.”
