I'm going to be honest, this is bad. Like it's free so there's no harm done, but it doesn't hold a candle to Beat Saber. I'll admit I came into this expecting low-quality, I mean the logo was AI generated so there's clearly no semblance of care put into it, but I was still surprised. Of the "over 100 000 community-made song beatmaps for Beat Saber" only 9 of them come installed with the game, and they're not a particularly good 9. You can't search for more to download or play in the game, the search function only shows you those 9 songs. Groovy Labs brags about having plenty of customization options, but the options I was able to play around with were really poor and far fewer than what exists in Beat Saber already. There's no score, just a ratio of successful vs failed hits, there are extremely limited environments and sabers as available options, there's not even a pause button. In order to pause a song and go to the menu I had to walk over to my keyboard and Alt+Tab. I can see the modding of this game could make it fun, adding more songs and maps from BeatSaver or something could help it, but those maps were designed for Beat Saber, and you'll have a far better experience with Beat Saber than this. The only reason I could see someone playing Groovy Labs over Beat Saber is for piracy, to play a free knockoff of a $30 game, and at that point you're doing yourself a disservice.

Thanks for the feedback. I still consider the game Early Access and as a single guy working on everything related to it, I'm doing my best to continue improving it. There are already many more songs included and even more are to come.

Yeah, it's biggest selling point is that it's free, and that's why it's free.

the pause button is all for main buttons aka a,b,x,y tho that does not help this game.
