The music in the game is generally praised for its upbeat and engaging quality, enhancing the overall experience and keeping players motivated. However, some users find the soundtrack repetitive and suggest that the combination of intense visuals and sound can be overwhelming, leading to discomfort. Additionally, there are calls for better audio settings, such as volume sliders, to improve the listening experience.
“This game takes around ten or so minutes to get the hang of, but after that you'll be bumpin' and groovin' as you enjoy both the soundtrack and puzzle game.”
“Couple all of that - which is pretty good - with explosive, high-energy music blasting violently into your ears and an incredibly intense visual experience, as well as the rapidity of the balls’ descent, and you’ve got an engaging, challenging experience on your hands.”
“The soundtrack is great and it gets you into the game.”
“Great concept, great visuals and soundtrack, but overall the game is poorly executed.”
“Oh, and the music, the same over and over, sooo boring.”
“On top of this, there are some other minor issues, such as no volume/music sliders, just the ability to turn all sound on or off.”

The game features flashy graphics and a solid soundtrack, but some users feel it lacks depth and replayability, leading to a sense of monotony despite its fun aspects.

“I like the gameplay, it's smooth and quite fun actually...”
“This game has a creative puzzle mechanic and flashy colorful graphics.”
“This is one of those neat games that is a blast because of the visuals, soundtrack, and gameplay that keeps you pumped up and yearning for more.”
“The way certain mechanics work (start of round, changing to hexagon in normal) create near impossible situations.”
“I don't get why the arguably hardest mode is the first one you can play, as it is super confusing, and everything is thrown in before you learn any individual mechanics.”
“In the normal mode, which combines the mechanics from all the other modes, this is a huge problem because it otherwise is the most interesting game mode.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly when aiming for level 30, which is seen as a significant hurdle. While achieving 100% completion is considered relatively easy, the repetitive nature of the gameplay can diminish enjoyment after a short period. Overall, many recommend purchasing the game on sale primarily for achievements and card farming.
“The major con to this game - it gets tedious after a few minutes, in my opinion.”
“Getting 100% achievements is also relatively easy (although getting to level 30 is a bit grindy).”
“The achievement for level 30 feels quite tedious though!”
