The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its atmospheric quality and fit for the gameplay, while others find it bland or reminiscent of basic production tools like GarageBand. Many appreciate the soundtrack's ability to enhance the gaming experience, though some express a desire for more variety and user-created content. Overall, the music is seen as enjoyable but not essential, allowing players to substitute their own tracks if desired.
“Entrancing music that fits the game perfectly.”
“The soundtrack is perfect too.”
“A wicked soundtrack that is coupled together with high-speed gameplay that is going to keep you addicted as you aim for the highest time possible.”
“The music is also rather bland, though not displeasing - I guess it works for this type of gameplay, but is also doing nothing more than that.”
“Only 3 or so music tracks per difficulty mode.”
“The music sounds like it was made in GarageBand; it's not bad... just sounds like it was made in GarageBand.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their smoothness, atmospheric quality, and vibrant colors, contributing to an engaging experience. However, some users criticize the poor optimization and lack of proper graphics settings, suggesting that the visuals could have been enhanced further, especially given the game's previous releases on other platforms. Overall, while the art style and music are appreciated, there is a sentiment that the graphics fall short of their full potential.
“Smooth graphics, nice color, no framerate issues.”
“Love the music and the graphics, while simple, are atmospheric and do the job.”
“Additionally, with the challenge of just reaching a minute on these difficulties, this game comes with exceptionally good music and art style - so well made that it might distract you a little from the track at first.”
“The optimization is very poor and there are no proper graphics settings.”
“Visuals could have been so much better.”
“I'm probably just being cynical at this point, but considering this game was available previously for iOS and Android and was originally released as $10 on Steam, the developers surely had some budget to ramp up the lighting in the game and sharpen the visuals (the black with blue neons had so much potential to reminisce Tron).”

The gameplay is simple yet addictive, characteristic of endless reaction games, providing a few hours of entertainment for a low price. While the music is functional, it doesn't enhance the experience significantly. Overall, the game offers a compelling challenge with its fast-paced mechanics, though its replay value may be limited after initial playthroughs.
“For its tron-esque appearance and addictive gameplay style, I give it an 8.5/10.”
“A wicked soundtrack that is coupled together with high-speed gameplay that is going to keep you addicted as you aim for the highest time possible.”
“Other than the few hours of gameplay I mentioned at the start, I don't see this game being playable after that.”
“The music is also rather bland, though not displeasing - I guess it works for this type of gameplay, but is also doing nothing more than that.”
“The gameplay is simple in concept but pretty addicting, like most endless reaction games.”

The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some users praise its smooth performance on Windows 10 64-bit, others criticize the lack of proper graphics settings and inconsistent frame rates, even on high-end systems. Overall, it appears to run well for some players but may not meet expectations for others.
“It's incredibly fast, smooth, and fully optimized for Windows 10 64-bit.”
“The optimization is pretty neat; however, since I have a pretty beefy computer, it's still not at 60 FPS, but I can play games like Crysis on the highest settings and get 60+ FPS.”
“It runs smoothly and provides a decent challenge to whoever plays it.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, particularly due to untracked achievements that require completing daily challenges over multiple days at higher difficulties.
“There are somewhat grindy achievements for getting 60 seconds on 1, 3, 7, and 30 different days for the two higher daily difficulties, and these are also not tracked at all.”
