The music in the game has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many players praising its unique blend of styles, including elements of dangdut and synthwave. While some noted that the music can be overshadowed by sound effects, the original soundtrack is frequently highlighted as a standout feature, enhancing the overall retro aesthetic and gameplay experience. Players express a strong desire to purchase the soundtrack, indicating its significant impact on their enjoyment of the game.
“The way that they incorporated dangdut (one of Indonesia's musical cultures) elements into the OST was awesome.”
“And the original soundtrack is amazing!”
“I love the art and soundtrack.”
“Ditambah lagi dengan visual 2d sprite-nya yang mulus dan soundtrack synthwave dangdut house yang enak didengar, game ini game multiplayer yang mantaplah baik dari segi gameplay atau segi visual dan suara.”

The story aspect of the game is reminiscent of Tekken 5, featuring unique narratives for each character, but the overall experience is hindered by a short, linear story mode with only 10 stages. While the game offers some replay value through different character perspectives, it lacks significant rewards after completion and has frustrating AI in single-player mode. Additionally, the absence of a save feature can detract from the enjoyment, making it better suited for multiplayer sessions with friends.
“This game is good; every character has their own story.”
“Ultra Space Battle Brawl is ping pong on steroids with story and personality.”
“And since playing as a character gives a unique start-screen story and a unique end-screen story, there is value in replaying the game.”
“The gameplay is kinda short; it just has 10 stages in story mode, so it feels a little bit boring. Still, it's a good game to kill time.”
“I'm surprised that the story mode has no save feature, probably because it's linear and short.”
“Because after you beat the story with all characters and unlock most things in the gallery, there isn't much left afterwards. Yes, you can unlock the boss character for versus mode, but he is not playable in the story mode.”

The gameplay is a unique twist on classic pong mechanics, featuring smooth 2D visuals and an engaging synthwave soundtrack. While it offers fun and interesting multiplayer experiences, some players find the short story mode of just 10 stages can lead to boredom. Additionally, the intended comeback mechanic may inadvertently penalize skilled players, adding a layer of frustration.
“Gameplay is similar to Pong but with a few modifications, making it way cooler and unique.”
“Ez gameplay but hard to be pro; you must train your eye to see where the ball moves.”
“I love the gameplay (and the music too) and it's fun! :D”
“This is intended as a comeback mechanic, but is actually punishing the player for doing well.”
“The gameplay is kinda short; it just has 10 stages (story mode), so it feels a little bit boring. Still, it's a good game to kill time.”
