The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its intensity and composition, often described as "killer," "badass," and "awesome," effectively enhancing the gameplay experience. While some players noted that the music resets per stage, leading to a choppy experience, many found it to be a highlight that adds urgency and excitement to the game. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a key element that elevates the game's aesthetic and emotional impact.
“The new music track follows the same dynamic style as the original, sticking to the same core set of instruments and style, though I'd wager that it's even more intense-sounding than last time, and I downright loved it.”
“The music is well-composed and it almost seems to bestow a sense of urgency on you.”
“A more thrilling and active sequel to Trip to Vinelands in every way: cool art, better gameplay, and an awesome dynamic music.”
“Music resets per stage so it's kinda choppy, one of the game's weaker points.”
“I would say the music, game pacing, and theme is what really sells this; otherwise, it's just a short arcade game with little replayability once you get the 100%.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simple mechanics that are easy to learn but difficult to master, creating a compelling challenge that encourages repeated attempts to improve. While the fast-paced and claustrophobic nature of the game adds excitement, some players feel that the introduction of new obstacles, like saws, detracts from the original's balance and intensity. Overall, the game offers a unique arcade experience with engaging music and art, though its repetitive core loop may not appeal to everyone.
“Gameplay is sweet; just find your way off-screen avoiding all obstacles. I like its unique approach to an arcade gimmick, which requires doing this 100 times in a single run flawlessly.”
“That extra half-second taken by needing to stop your forward momentum to dodge left because you didn't account for the saw ahead of time can be the difference between life or death in some stages, adding a whole new layer to the game's already adrenaline-pumping gameplay.”
“Gameplay is simple to pick up but challenging to master, something which I do enjoy.”
“It actually makes you want to try over and over to see how far you can make it, but the core gameplay loop is inherently repetitive.”
“While I definitely think the saws add a solid bit of variety, I think they took away from the original game's fantastic balancing in doing so, and combined with how you're acclimated to the gameplay in advance this time around, the challenge just doesn't hit the same peak as the first game's.”
“The gameplay feels claustrophobic and is fast-paced.”

The graphics are characterized by a simple yet unique art style that complements the gameplay and map design, though some players find them a bit underwhelming compared to other titles from the same developer. While the visuals are described as cool and shadow-like, they are not the main focus of the experience, which is enhanced by an intense soundtrack. Overall, the graphics serve their purpose but may not meet the expectations of those seeking more advanced visuals.
“The visuals are unique and they complement the map design perfectly.”
“Intense visuals and an intense soundtrack to make you feel badass as you escape through a hell of spikes and spinning blades.”
“Graphics are all shadow-like, cool style, not bad but a tad simple compared to other games by the same developer.”
“The graphics aren't too good but you aren't really focusing on that.”

“Pretty solid experience to keep your blood rushing when you have nothing to do or are bored, it also contains a lot of replayability and challenging unpredictable levels.”
“I would say the music, game pacing, and theme is what really sells this; otherwise, it's just a short arcade game with little replayability once you get to 100%. But I don't know, if you want to do it over and over, hey, why not?”
