The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it entrancing and fitting for the gameplay, while others describe it as bland or reminiscent of amateur production. Many appreciate the atmospheric quality of the soundtrack, though there are calls for more variety and additional tracks. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, it is not considered essential, allowing players to enjoy their own playlists if desired.
“Entrancing music that fits the game perfectly.”
“The soundtrack is perfect too.”
“Love the music and the graphics, while simple, are atmospheric and do the job.”
“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.”
“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 described as smooth and atmospheric, with nice colors and no framerate issues, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, some users criticize the poor optimization and lack of proper graphics settings, suggesting that the visuals could have been significantly improved, especially given the game's previous availability on other platforms. Overall, while the graphics serve their purpose, there is a sense that they fall short of their potential.
“Smooth graphics, nice colors, and no framerate issues.”
“Love the music and the graphics, while simple, are atmospheric and do the job.”
“The game has a nice atmosphere by having nice graphics and soundtracks.”
“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 straightforward yet highly addictive, typical of endless reaction games, and is complemented by a visually appealing tron-esque design. While it offers a few hours of engaging play for a low price, its replay value diminishes quickly, and the music, though fitting, lacks distinction. Overall, it garners a positive reception with a score of 8.5/10.
“The gameplay is simple in concept but pretty addicting, like most endless reaction games.”
“For its tron-esque appearance and addictive gameplay style, I give it an 8.5/10.”
“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.”
“For a pretty low price of $3 (as of 16/12/2015), it definitely should provide a few hours of gameplay.”

The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some users praise its speed and 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 struggles to maintain 60 fps for others.
“It's incredibly fast, smooth, and fully optimized for Windows 10 64-bit.”
“It runs smoothly and provides a decent challenge to whoever plays it.”
“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.”

The game offers infinite replayability, with levels that are endless and challenge players to progress as far as possible, similar to the mechanics of Flappy Bird. This simplicity combined with the limitless nature of the gameplay keeps it engaging and fun for repeated playthroughs.
“A really simple, yet really fun game with literally infinite replayability.”
“- Infinite replayability: levels are literally infinite; you go as far as you can go (think Flappy Bird).”

Players note that the game features grindy achievements requiring them to complete challenges over multiple days, specifically achieving 60 seconds on higher daily difficulties. However, these achievements are not tracked, adding to the frustration of the grinding experience.
“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.”
