The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the musical symbols and Morse code module frustratingly complex and difficult to explain. While some appreciate the game's overall fun and teamwork elements, the challenges posed by the music-related components often lead to confusion and stress, detracting from the experience. Additionally, players have noted bugs that hinder gameplay, particularly with the musical symbols not functioning as intended.
- “My friends and I all play music, so you could probably guess what our favorite module is.”
- “Good way to get the brain working as you have to describe what you are seeing to the other person and unless you both know Greek, musical notes and Morse code, then you have to describe everything and sometimes the description you give can confuse the person and they have to think harder too.”
- “The game is fun, but some bugs make it impossible sometimes; for the musical symbols, the Morse code ----- means 0 but the symbol for 0 is not possible to enter on the bomb.”
- “This game was fun, but my friend and I could not disarm one bomb due to the music note/morse code module not disarming, even if we matched up the music notes perfectly.”
- “The musical symbols are really annoying!”
- “I really like the game, but I have a problem when it comes to solving the musical symbols. I don't understand the information.”

The gameplay is generally praised for being fun and engaging, particularly in a multiplayer setting, with fast-paced mechanics that encourage teamwork and critical thinking.

- “Amazing fast-paced gameplay.”
- “Amazing gameplay and fun time with friends!”
- “It's something like a free version of 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes' with pay-to-unlock mechanics. I think that's okay, but honestly, I would rather pay 300 CZK (about $13) for the original game than 185 CZK (about $8) for the full version of this.”
- “How do you know the bomb mechanics?”
- “Keeps my mind thinking the whole gameplay.”

- “I also like that there's no ads.”
- “Very beautiful game with a great idea, but my problem is that I need to pay to unlock the other modes and difficulties, which are not available to me.

- “Sorry, but you should stop advertising paid games as free.”
- “I recommend putting ads in the game and making the full game free.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly in navigating elements and managing tasks like changing the flashlight's battery, which feels unintuitive. The repetitive nature of certain challenges, such as musical notes, detracts from the overall enjoyment. Suggestions for improvement include more intuitive navigation options to streamline the experience.
- “Moving between the elements of the bomb by zooming in/out becomes tedious; there should additionally be a left/up/right/down cursor or, even better, a miniature picture at one of the sides where one simply taps the desired element.”
- “Is changing the flashlight's battery considered a riddle in itself, or why is it so unintuitive and tedious?”
- “I love this game, but the musical notes are so tedious.”
