The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its calming and nostalgic qualities, while others find it repetitive and uninspired. Many suggest that the soundtrack lacks variety and fails to enhance the gaming experience, leading some to prefer listening to their own music instead. Overall, while the music has its moments, it often falls short of expectations, contributing to a mediocre impression of the game's audio design.
“The game is accompanied by electronic music, space ambient.”
“A pleasant casual game for those who are fleetingly nostalgic for childhood flash games for fans of jet minimalist rockets in neon tones with a musical score of cosmic ambient.”
“Friendly soundtrack that is also enjoyable while you are playing.”
“The music is horrible tho, after 15 hours you go insane.”
“Music is basic.”
“There are two soundtracks, and each one is basically 4 notes repeated over and over.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its solid mechanics and challenging nature, while others criticize the finicky controls, sluggish movement, and lack of progress-saving features.

“Gameplay is smooth and the soundtrack is nice, but I was expecting the music in the trailer to be in the game (and more similar tracks).”

“The mechanics are way too finicky; it was very frustrating.”
“The movement is sluggish, and the gameplay is entirely stop-and-go, which is not very interesting or fun.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the low-quality visuals, lack of customization options, and an unappealing screen filter that detracts from the experience.

“Pretty solid gameplay and nice graphic style.”
“Visuals are befitting and consistent.”
“It's got a pretty art style with a moderate soundtrack.”
“The lack of variety in level design, poorly balanced difficulty progression, uninspired boss encounters, underwhelming visuals, and forgettable soundtracks result in a mediocre gaming experience.”
“There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The game's story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, but many players find it lacking in depth and engagement, criticizing the absence of a tutorial and a compelling narrative, leading to an overall disappointing experience.
“The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“To be honest, this game is so boring. I'm so disappointed; there's no tutorial, no story, and it feels like playing a game from 13 years ago. Waste of time; I don't recommend it.”
