The music in the game is widely praised for its calming and relaxing qualities, perfectly complementing the gameplay and enhancing the overall aesthetic experience. Many reviewers highlight the soundtrack as a standout feature, describing it as beautiful and fitting for the game's atmosphere, with some even expressing a desire for additional tracks or a soundtrack DLC. Despite some criticisms regarding gameplay challenges, the music consistently serves as a soothing backdrop, making the experience enjoyable even during frustrating moments.
“The soundtrack for this game is absolutely fantastic.”
“Not only will your eyes love this game but your ears will as well, the music is absolutely magnificent; even while failing a course over and over, the music will keep you calm and mellow.”
“This isn't a game you play to complete; it's a game you enjoy, the music fitted every level and it's creative.”
“There are typos everywhere, the music is all insufferably saddening with a certain track having literal tapping every few seconds just to anger you, the colors in some levels are awful with an example being a level with bright orange on top of even brighter orange so you can't see anything, and the levels all very much look the same.”
“Incredible simplistic game that makes you rage extremely hard while listening to calm and relaxing music.”
“Sinarun so far that I have been playing it for it's not that bad it will make you rage on some parts but the music in the game is really calm and relaxing but I would get this game if you have coupons or wait for it to be on sale that's just me but I recommend this game for sure!”

The gameplay of the game is characterized by its beautiful aesthetics and music, combined with simple yet challenging mechanics that evoke a sense of speed and difficulty. While some players appreciate the unique timed-jump mechanic and smooth gameplay, others find it unforgiving and suggest the need for additional mechanics or levels to enhance the experience. Overall, the game is still in early access, and while it shows promise, it has room for improvement in terms of gameplay depth and control options.
“Great game, it's still in early access but its amazing quality and the gameplay is amazing.”
“Amazing atmosphere, amazing gameplay, and amazing concept.”
“Sinarun reduces the complex mechanics of bhopping/surf mods to the bare essentials without sacrificing the sense of speed and difficulty.”
“The gameplay is pretty bad too.”
“Soapy movement mechanics, really slippery, like the ice level from Mario.”
“Honestly, I think the game would benefit from some more levels or mechanics.”

The graphics of the game are praised for their beautiful aesthetic and unique minimalistic style, contributing to a visually stunning experience. However, some players find the art style can hinder gameplay, making it difficult to judge landings and navigate levels effectively. Overall, the graphics receive a solid rating, with many appreciating the blend of simplicity and visual appeal.
“Sinarun is one amazing fast-paced parkour/platforming game with truly stunning music and visuals.”
“Visually, this game is stunning; while the graphics are very minimalistic, it is one of the few examples of minimalism done very well in a game.”
“The PvP is flawless, and the graphics are hyper-realistic.”
“Let's see, it's a first-person platformer where you can't see your feet, so you can't judge how to land. You slide really far when you land, the controls are extremely touchy, speed is inconsistent, and there are often tiny gaps that you will fall between that you can't see because of the art style.”
“This game has the simplest mechanics and minimalistic graphics, yet this is one of the most challenging platformer games I've played.”
“The art style makes it difficult to judge distances, leading to frustrating falls into gaps that are hard to see.”
