The gameplay is generally enjoyable, but it suffers from several issues, including awkward UI placement, bugs in the editor, and occasional crashes. While the unique mechanics and inspiration from other games are appreciated, many players feel that the current design is restrictive and in need of significant improvements to enhance the overall experience.
- “The base gameplay is definitely fun but the whole thing needs lots of tweaking.”
- “I love the unique gameplay concept that they've come up with, but that's about where the praise stops.”
- “Spin mechanic is cool but can feel real janky at times.”
- “The health, score, and other information is on the far edges of the screen while your eyes are naturally glued to the center, making it awkward and risky to check them during more fast-paced gameplay.”
- “Some bugs in the editor and sometimes the game crashes while trying to make a song. Gameplay overall can be better, but this game came out 3 days ago and I'm pretty sure this is just a passion project, so I don't mind it. I like how this game took inspiration from Sound Voltex, but I do not like how it has 3 lanes; 3 lanes take a little bit to get used to.”
- “Fix your gameplay, and actually have something beyond a prototype before releasing it on Steam.”

The graphics in "soundelta" are criticized for their lackluster minimalist design, featuring simplistic white boxes for buttons and basic glowing objects that fail to impress. Reviewers note that the visuals are poorly executed, resembling amateur artwork rather than contemporary standards, contributing to an overall negative impression of the game.
- “This game features very lacklustre minimalist 'art' for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary.”
- “Each button is just a white box, the in-game visuals are just various glowing objects, many little UI details seem to have been drawn with a mouse once and then left in.”
- “'Soundelta' is a rhythm QTE game, basically a Guitar Hero ripoff with all the cool songs, band themes, and funky controllers removed... heck, they even took out the graphics, leaving us with minimalist dribble and an awful 'spinning' triangle thing instead of normal rhythm controls.”

The music in "soundelta" has been widely criticized, with users describing the soundtrack as poor and unappealing, lacking the engaging elements found in similar rhythm games like Guitar Hero. The minimalist design and ineffective rhythm controls detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration rather than enjoyment. Many players feel that the game would benefit from workshop support to allow for custom song sharing, which could enhance its musical offerings.
- “Soundelta is a rhythm QTE game, basically a Guitar Hero ripoff with all the cool songs, band themes, and funky controllers removed. Heck, they even took out the graphics, leaving us with minimalist dribble. The soundtrack is so bad you may want to shove a pencil in your ear to try to make it stop, and there's an awful 'spinning' triangle thing instead of normal rhythm controls. Needless to say, this was a complete and utter failure on Steam Direct.”
- “In my case, it gave me an offset of -23, which meant the notes I was hitting to the music had already flown off-screen.”
- “This game desperately needs workshop support since having an easy-to-use tool to share and download custom songs would motivate people to create custom content.”
