The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it lackluster and even suggesting they would prefer to listen to other artists instead. While a few appreciate the atmospheric elements, others criticize the limited variety and express frustration with certain gameplay modes that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the music seems to be a significant point of contention among players.
“The music is pretty cool, too.”
“The atmospheres and music are great, although I do wish there were more choices for places to fly.”
“And my final gripe would be the music.”
“Look, I'm not one to often complain about the music, but this game's music is just... well, next time I'm playing, I'm going to turn off the game music and put on some Sigur Rós or something like that.”
“[Essentially only consists of two modes where you merely chase high scores; outrun is incredibly frustrating, and the music can be downright awful.]”

“This creates a rewarding experience that lends to addictive gameplay (I want to see how far I can get my kite to go!).”
“It recreates some but not all of the mechanics of flying a stunt kite, but they have the wonderful advantage that this is the only VR stunt kite game on Steam, so until someone (anyone) else comes along, they got the market cornered.”

Reviews indicate that while the game shows promise, particularly with future advancements in VR and GPU technology, its current optimization could benefit from more realistic environmental dynamics, such as variable wind conditions that impact gameplay.
“I'm already looking forward to a successor of this game, especially when VR headsets and GPU performance improve.”
“I know you can enable the option for the wind to change direction, but in real-world flying, sometimes the direction and speed of the wind can change. This greatly affects foil kite performance.”
