The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it fitting and motivating, enhancing the overall experience. However, some users feel it can become repetitive and annoying over time, suggesting that the game is also enjoyable with the music turned off. Overall, the soundtrack is described as good but not particularly original, complementing the game's vibrant visuals and minimalist style.
- “The music is pretty good and fits the game very well.”
- “The music is motivating, the graphics are trippy, the controls are easy but often lag.”
- “First of all, Velocibox, for me, is a near-perfect game. The graphics are minimalist but very well made, and the music and effects are appropriate and fit perfectly with the game.”
- “I recommend it with the music off.”
- “The 'velocibox' voice is generic, the textures are not engaging, the cube you control is a generic cube, the music is not really original, and it gets really annoying long before you play level 1 for the 3,400,509,034th time.”
- “If you have a favorite song or want to listen to a new release, you can turn off the sound and music of Velocibox and open the song in the background while you play.”

The gameplay is characterized by its fast-paced, gravity-defying mechanics that challenge players to navigate complex obstacles with precision. While the design is simple, it requires mastery to excel, creating an engaging experience that captivates both players and spectators. The increasing difficulty and unique stage mechanics, such as field rotation and aspect ratio changes, add depth and excitement to the gameplay.
- “The simple design draws focus towards gameplay, even impressing spectators (especially if the player can gracefully navigate the hectic barricades set before them).”
- “It's how the gravity flip mechanic opens the door for a wide variety of obstacles that wouldn't be possible in other twitch games, forcing you to deftly maneuver around and across all sides of these corridors.”
- “If you are like me, then you enjoy watching people suffer on YouTube through gameplay.”
- “Simple design, simple gameplay but hard to master.”
- “Brilliantly, each stage throughout the game ramps up these intertwined factors until the field rotation abruptly stops in the post-game stage, limiting visibility unevenly and suddenly making aspect ratio a key factor for gameplay.”
