The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its unique styles, including fusion jazz and varied rhythms, which enhance the gameplay experience. However, some players noted that certain tracks do not align well with the game's mechanics, leading to a disjointed experience. Overall, while the soundtrack is generally enjoyable and complements the art, the lack of a music room for players to revisit tracks was a common disappointment.
“One of the more unique ones I have played in quite a bit, music is fantastic and so is the art!”
“It has a very unique playstyle, which is rare to see in rhythm games, and a banger soundtrack.”
“The pixel art is fantastic, the music is great, the writing is decent, and it's a nice innovation on block clearing puzzles and rhythm games.”
“The music is *okay*, but by necessity of the mechanics it's made up entirely of repeating 6/12 note stanzas.”
“There are many music/soundtrack in this game that doesn't fit with the beat, let alone having a beat.”
“Here, let me give you a beat, and then... take it away randomly so that the visuals are entirely different than the music you're hearing which no longer matches the same beat.”

The gameplay is characterized by a unique blend of mechanics that evolve as players progress through levels, keeping the experience fresh and engaging. While some players find the simplicity of the concept deceptive, leading to challenging moments, others appreciate the variety and rhythm patterns introduced in each stage. However, there are criticisms regarding artificial difficulty spikes and repetitive music, suggesting that the game could benefit from additional content and refinement.
“The gameplay is something I don't think I've ever seen before, and feels very fun and unique!”
“Stripping mechanics aside, the gameplay is pretty unique, with different songs giving different rhythm patterns, and the varied mechanics make the stages feel different enough from one another.”
“For being a pretty simple concept, the gameplay is actually quite hard.”
“Artificial difficulty is not fun; removing the rhythm from the rhythm game is a dumb mechanic.”
“(This entire rant is mostly for the second to last song, purely because the rest of the game was so easy and implemented all of the mechanics in such a peaceful and easy way, and then you get to this stage and they purposely change the music, change the beat, and make the AI ridiculous.)”
“Any longer without adding any major mechanics would make it feel too long.”

However, character designs receive positive remarks, indicating that visual appeal may overshadow the story's shortcomings.
“The story here is basically just for giggles; it's not really required to follow and is easily skippable.”
“I wouldn't expect a lewd game like this to have a deep story or anything, but it just feels pointless to even have.”
“I didn't care for the story too much, but I love the character designs.”
