The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players frustrated by the reliance on user-generated content and the difficulty in locating and playing songs. While some users enjoyed the rhythm and workout experience when songs worked correctly, others reported frequent glitches, unresponsive menus, and a lack of developer-created tracks, leading to a disjointed gameplay experience. Overall, the game's music system is seen as a promising feature that suffers from significant usability issues and technical problems.

- “Most of the songs I attempted to play only had symbols; the song music and lyrics wouldn't load.”
- “The game itself has about 10 tracks while it heavily depends on its YouTube engine in order to play other songs, which can generate a massive number of unparalleled movements that contribute nothing to the song's BPM or rhythm.”

The game's optimization is notably poor, with frequent framerate drops below 90 during busy scenes, despite the hardware being capable of higher performance. Users report low GPU utilization and suggest that issues in the rendering API or pipeline are causing these performance problems when multiple elements are rendered simultaneously.
- “The most glaring issue is code optimization: framerate often gets choppy and drops below 90 when things get busy, while GPU frametimes are 4.5ms and GPU utilization is 38% at 1.08 SS on an index, so I should easily run this at 120/144.”
- “I can hold 144Hz at 1.2 SS on most titles, so something must be unoptimized in the rendering API calls or rendering pipeline here, when too many new elements are being drawn at once.”
