The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the ability to import their own tracks and the overall soundtrack, which is described as catchy and enjoyable. However, some users criticize the game's music-reactive elements, noting that they often feel random and do not significantly enhance gameplay. Overall, while the music is a highlight for many, its integration with the platforming mechanics leaves something to be desired.
- “The amazing soundtrack and visuals, which are probably the very best features of this game, make it just a great game to sit down with and have some easy-going fun.”
- “The game itself is exactly as it claims it is when it states that it's 'a music reactive platform racing game'.”
- “Bring your own music into the game, and the level will adapt and pulse along with it.”
- “The trailer had me excited, I believed I would experience an intense sensation of speed provided both by the character movements and the musically affected levels; sadly the music doesn't interact with the level designs in a truly dynamic or interesting way, the controls felt loose and slidey (something that shouldn't be allowed in this type of game); and while attempting to find some enjoyment in this purchase, I played levels that were literally impossible to complete.”
- “This game is nothing like promised, the stage doesn't respond very well to the songs, only a small portion of it (spikes, some platforms that pop from the ground and crates that will 'smash' you or whatever those things are) will move with the song and some of the objects that are affected will move totally out of the rhythm of a custom music and the gameplay is slow and boring.”
- “Admittedly it's a game that fails at what it's trying to do since the music-based elements hardly tend to feel like it at all and mostly end up being random (many songs won't even have consistent behaviors on the environment, so...).”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing it as slow, repetitive, and unresponsive to the music, which detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the fluidity and mechanics reminiscent of other platformers, the consensus leans towards disappointment, suggesting that the game's potential is undermined by its lackluster gameplay. Despite the strong soundtrack, many feel that the gameplay fails to deliver on the promises made, leaving it feeling mediocre.
- “7/10 awesome music by Infected Mushroom, fluid gameplay and keyboard slapping fun.”
- “With a stellar soundtrack and amazing gameplay, this game is most definitely one of my favorite games.”
- “The level design I found terrific, it's very 'Sonic-ish', but the gameplay is not so good.”
- “The hype is not real; the music selection was the only part I liked, which I can easily enjoy through several free methods. If you're looking for a good game with a more integral mixture of gameplay and music, I recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer.”
- “This game is nothing like promised. The stage doesn't respond very well to the songs; only a small portion of it (spikes, some platforms that pop from the ground, and crates that will 'smash' you) will move with the song. Some of the objects that are affected move totally out of the rhythm of a custom music, and the gameplay is slow and boring.”
- “It looked fun in theory, but the gameplay is so lame and uninteresting.”

Players find the game offers significant replayability, with 60 tracks that encourage continued play beyond initial completion. The engaging and catchy music also enhances the experience, keeping players motivated even during challenging levels.
- “If you can buy this game, then you should! It's only £8.00, and I thought it would be a short racing game, but it's much better than that. Even after completing all 60 tracks, I can see this game having a lot of replayability. Oh, and another thing, the music is really cool! If you're getting a bit fed up on a level, the catchy music keeps you engaged and fits perfectly with the game. :D”
- “The game has a lot of tracks, but once you've completed them all, there's not much incentive to play again.”
- “After finishing the main story, I found myself with little motivation to replay the game; it just doesn't offer enough variety.”
- “While the game is enjoyable, the lack of different modes or challenges makes it feel repetitive after a few playthroughs.”
