  • music19 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it entrancing and well-suited to the gameplay, while others describe it as bland or reminiscent of basic production tools like GarageBand. Many appreciate the atmosphere created by the soundtrack, though there are calls for more variety and user-generated content. 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.”
    • “Great game, soundtrack is pretty nice but nothing integral to the game, so if you want to put on your own music it's functionally a very pretty endless runner to zen out to.”
    • “The music is rather bland; it works for this type of gameplay but does 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.”
  • graphics8 mentions

    Overall, the graphics of the game are described as smooth and atmospheric, with nice colors and a strong art style that enhances the experience. However, some users noted poor optimization and a lack of proper graphics settings, leading to missed opportunities for improved visuals. While the graphics effectively contribute to the game's ambiance, there is a sentiment that they could have been elevated further, especially given the game's previous releases on other platforms.

    • “Smooth graphics, awesome game! I'd play more, but I have too many other games.”
    • “Smooth graphics, nice colors, no framerate issues.”
    • “Love the music and the graphics; while simple, they are atmospheric and do the job.”
    • “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).”
  • gameplay5 mentions

    The gameplay is straightforward and highly addictive, typical of endless reaction games, offering a few hours of entertainment for its low price. While the music is functional, it lacks impact, and the game's appeal may diminish after initial playtime. Overall, it garners a solid rating of 8.5/10 for its engaging mechanics and visual style.

    • “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.”
  • optimization4 mentions

    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.

    • “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 optimization is very poor and there are no proper graphics settings.”
    • “The optimization is pretty neat; however, I have a pretty beefy computer and it's still not reaching 60 fps, even though I can play games like Crysis on the highest settings and get 60+ fps.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    • “With so many cons, I just seem to have to give this a downvote, given that there are so many other (and better) games out there that have taken care of the bare minimum of troubleshooting and bug fixing to make them playable, while also offering more polish and engaging content for the asking price.”
