The graphics in the game are widely praised for their charming and vibrant art style, transitioning from black and white hand-drawn aesthetics to colorful, animated visuals that enhance the gameplay experience. Players appreciate the cute and engaging design, which integrates animated turtles into beautifully crafted backgrounds, making the game visually appealing and relaxing. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's enjoyable atmosphere, complemented by a catchy soundtrack.
“The artwork is beautifully done, featuring a variety of animated objects and vibrant colors that make the game visually appealing and engaging.”
“Colorful turtles are everywhere on the screen - foreground and background and in between the cracks, moving turtles that you need to click on - no longer is it just moving objects that occasionally hide the object you're supposed to click on, there's rooms you can enter with more turtles and unique music, there's a beautiful art style reminiscent of the Newgrounds flash game/animation art from my childhood, and overall, it's just a short and sweet little experience.”
“This was really fun, with a lot more interactivity than before, and the artwork/graphics were incredibly nice!”
“Unlike the previous games, this one just has cartoon graphics versus black & white hand-sketched art.”
“The big-graphic-that-you-scroll-through design is ok, but it's much more enjoyable when there is animation as well as some casual puzzles that are required before you can find all of the objects.”
“It starts out being a black and white, hand-drawn graphics in a cartoon style.”

“Too easy, only 40 minutes of gameplay.”
“The games in this particular series are hit or miss, with sometimes cute animations and surprisingly clever mechanics and other times a very brief 'game' experience with too much repetition that ends in boredom or frustration.”
