The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with users appreciating the visualizations and the immersive experience it offers, particularly in VR. However, many express frustration over the inability to select music directly within the app, the lack of interaction between custom music and visual effects, and the limited variety of visualizations available. Overall, while the potential for a captivating music experience is recognized, the execution leaves room for improvement.
“It's very pretty and some of the music visualization is excellent.”
“The effects wash around you and form in front of you in time with the music.”
“Laying down with ambient music like Maggie Rogers or John Frusciante dancing around me is one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had.”
“You can't browse for music in-app (you have to use the VR web browser or desktop tab), and the visualizer is basically a few particle effects that seem to have almost nothing to do with the music.”
“For a 'definite music visualizer and player for the HTC Vive', this has extremely few visualizations or effects in general.”
“I'm super excited about the idea of a VR music visualizer, but this is disappointing.”

The graphics of the game are underwhelming, as many users note that it appears to be designed to run on low-end PCs, lacking the visual fidelity expected from modern titles.
“You'd expect them to want to maximize the power of the graphics card, but it seems this could run on any low-end PC.”
