The game's music library is praised for its variety and frequent updates, featuring a mix of indie and well-known artists, which enhances the overall experience. Each song offers three difficulty levels, making it accessible for players of all skill levels. However, some users have reported issues with songs occasionally lacking notes or stopping prematurely.
“The songs are all pretty nice, and there's a decent-sized library of them.”
“Each song has 3 difficulties, which is wonderful because this makes the entry level of the game low, allowing anyone to start slow.”
“The repertoire of songs is updated frequently, featuring a variety of tracks from indie musicians like m-ue, yuugen6, obake, and more famous ones like t+pazolite. Hopefully, we can see more artists in the future like osanzi.”
“Sadly, the last time I played it [May 2021], some of the songs would just have no notes to hit or would stop having notes after some time.”

The gameplay is characterized by a unique 6-lane vertical-scrolling rhythm format, reminiscent of popular rhythm games like Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution, but distinguished by its hexagonal lane layout. While the desktop experience is engaging, its recommendation may vary based on players' familiarity with this specific style of rhythm gameplay.
“I do not own a VR headset, so this review is solely about the desktop gameplay.”
“The gameplay features a 6-lane vertical-scrolling rhythm game (VSRG) style, similar to other rhythm games like Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution, but it is entirely different due to the hexagonal layout of the lanes.”
“The gameplay feels overly complicated and not intuitive, making it hard to enjoy.”
“The 6-lane vertical-scrolling rhythm game mechanics are confusing and don't flow well.”
“I found the controls to be unresponsive at times, which detracted from the overall experience.”
