The gameplay features unique mechanics that some players find a bit inconsistent, particularly with issues related to custom hitsound offsets. However, the visually appealing art style enhances the experience without detracting from the need for focus and skill.
“The art style is pretty to look at yet not distracting from the gameplay, therefore emphasizing the importance of sheer focus and skill.”
“The mechanics are a bit wonky, and there seems to be no way of fixing the hitsound for the notes if you have set the offset to something custom.”
“Quite peculiar game mechanics.”
