The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it fun and addictive, while others criticize it for being unresponsive and poorly executed, particularly in its rhythm mechanics and shooting mechanics. Many users noted that the game lacks proper song organization, making it tedious to select tracks, and highlighted issues with inconsistent fire rates and frustrating mechanics like sliding and glass walls. Overall, while the game has potential and offers enjoyable moments, it requires significant tweaks to improve the overall experience.
“One of the funnest games I have ever played. Very addicting gameplay, very addicting music. Such a great game I recommend for anyone who wants to throw time away and jam to some music.”
“Overall, very fun and entertaining rhythm game. Needs to have several tweaks with slide mechanics and boss AI, but a great experience nonetheless.”
“Whenever they end up fixing these issues, I'll recommend this game to everyone, as the price and gameplay is enough to warrant it.”
“I love rhythm-based gameplay, but this is not rhythmic at all; it's a janky rail shooter!”
“A good concept with pretty mediocre execution... games like Beat Hazard and Audiosurf have great level generation based on your music, creating gameplay that doesn't feel gimmicky.”
“It gets especially grating with the glass wall game mechanic where most of my deaths come from hitting a glass wall because my gun wouldn’t shoot.”
