Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is intense & unforgiving, the rhythm is usually asynchronous, off-beat or heavily reliant on the art & graphical animation over audio .
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics, artwork & animations are cute, fun & well crafted but the gameplay & levels are too dependent on their presence rather than audio & rhythm indicators which makes the game draining to play with constant white beaming at your face.
Audio

20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is the other half of this delicate balance—a collection of lo-fi, chillwave-inspired beats that guide the pacing of the game.
