The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it annoying and standard, while others appreciate its fitting and energetic electronic soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience. Despite some complaints about the audio potentially causing discomfort, many agree that the soundtrack is well-executed and complements the game's frantic pace. Overall, the music is seen as a significant aspect of the game, contributing to its challenge and enjoyment.
“Good looking, killer soundtrack, and well executed within its genre.”
“Has a great selection of fittingly frantic electronic music.”
“This game is very challenging (couldn't you tell?), however it is very well made/polished, and the fitting soundtrack makes it all the more fun to play.”
“The first thing that comes to our senses is the music - the credits page tells us that it's been composed by many musicians, but it sounds quite annoying. It's like some kind of standard techno/trance/EDM track or whatever.”
“And as many other players pointed out, the combination of camera zooming, shakes, music, and such can give you a headache, if not some nausea.”
“Not that I would know since my audio no longer works, but I'm pretty sure the music is a big part of this game since it has very basic gameplay.”

The graphics of the mobile app are polarizing; some users criticize the lazy minimalist design and low-polygon assets as reminiscent of early 1990s games, suggesting a lack of effort from developers. Conversely, others appreciate the aesthetic of shiny untextured triangles, finding them visually appealing. Overall, opinions on the graphics vary significantly, reflecting a divide between those who see it as a stylistic choice and those who view it as a lack of quality.
“The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the game world to life.”
“The art style is unique and captivating, creating an immersive experience that draws you in.”
“The visuals are breathtaking, showcasing a beautiful blend of realism and artistic flair.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive and engaging.”
“I was disappointed by the low-resolution textures and bland character models; it feels like the developers didn't put in the effort to create a visually appealing experience.”

Tiltagon's monetization strategy has been criticized as a cash grab, with the game being offered as a paid product on Steam despite being a free mobile app. Reviewers feel that the transition to PC lacks value, as it presents a simplistic and poorly designed experience that does not justify its price.
“Tiltagon is a free mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a paid product, as if it was a real PC game. It's a cash grab from greedy mobile developers.”
“The game is a basic physics/rolling ball action game where you roll a spiky marble around levels made of lazy untextured 2D low poly hexagons.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it seems designed solely to extract money from players rather than provide a quality gaming experience.”
