The music in the game features a mix of j-pop and j-rock, with a significant portion being vocaloid tracks, and includes a total of 28 songs, most of which are unlockable. However, the song charting has received heavy criticism for being poorly designed, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience for many players. While the flashy stage effects and animated music videos enhance the presentation, the overall enjoyment of the music largely depends on personal taste, with some players finding it exhilarating and others dismissing it entirely.
“The majority of the music is J-pop and J-rock, and about half of the songs are Vocaloid-based.”
“All songs take place on a stage setting that features flashy equalizers and lighting effects.”
“The game itself is very simple, but the songs are exhilarating enough to keep you entertained.”
“The problem is, after ten minutes it's already clear I'm not going to bother, for one simple reason: the song charting is terrible.”
“Except the notes here are all over the place; the charts look like they were made by someone with no sense of music at all (if you've played custom songs on Beat Saber or Stepmania, think of the terrible ones).”
“But since I hate the music, it's a 4/10.”

The game's graphics are considered subpar, featuring a typical VR aesthetic reminiscent of 80s visuals, with poorly translated menus. However, the visuals are functional for gameplay, and the varying appearance of flying notes adds some graphical diversity.
“The notes that fly by you do change up, so at least it always has some graphical variance.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
“The character models are poorly designed and lack detail, making them look lifeless.”
“The environments are bland and repetitive, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The gameplay is characterized by repetitive mechanics, primarily focused on constant punching, which some players find fun enough to overlook other aspects like the music. However, the lack of variety in gameplay elements may lead to a sense of monotony.
“The gameplay is incredibly engaging and keeps you on your toes.”
“Each level offers unique challenges that make the gameplay feel fresh and exciting.”
“The mechanics are intuitive, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.”
“However, the differences don't change the gameplay; it's just constant punching.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the controls to be clunky, which really detracted from the overall gameplay experience.”
