The music aspect of Showmaker includes a limited selection of five pre-loaded tracks with variations, but users find the experience frustrating due to the two-second playback limitation when adding songs to the timeline. While it allows for the addition of custom music, the process is cumbersome and requires significant effort to create a well-coordinated dance with appropriate lighting and camera work. Overall, the music options are seen as lacking and not user-friendly.
- “Showmaker comes pre-loaded with one model featuring a variety of clothes, two stages, and five music tracks in different versions, along with special effects, sounds, and dances.”
- “You can add your own songs easily, enhancing the overall experience.”
- “Not difficult to understand, but you will need to invest some time to create a well-choreographed dance that aligns with the music you choose, including light and camera design.”
- “What really got me disliking it was that it plays two seconds of the song every time you put something on the timeline.”
- “Meh, not many options to work with, and trying to add your own music is hard.”
- “Not difficult to understand, but you will be sinking some time to get a well choreographed dance that has light and camera design that makes sense to whatever music you use.”

The optimization of the game is currently a work in progress, with users expressing hope for future improvements and content expansions. While it effectively serves its purpose for choreographing performances, potential buyers may want to wait for a sale before purchasing.

- “Overall, I heartily recommend Showmaker with the expectation that it will see many improvements, optimizations, and content expansions in the future, although at this stage in development, waiting for a sale wouldn't hurt.”
- “This works great for quickly choreographing performances, and could appeal to dance or theater professionals who want a game to play after work that's related to what they do.”
- “Overall, I heartily recommend Showmaker with the expectation that it will see many improvements, optimizations, and content expansions in the future. However, at this stage in development, waiting for a sale wouldn't hurt.”
