The graphics received mixed reviews, with some praising their ability to maintain the game's spirit, while others criticized them as outdated and subpar compared to modern standards. Many noted that the visuals are typical for a casual matching game, reflecting early 2000s quality and lacking in features like adjustable formats or power-ups. Overall, the graphics are seen as adequate but not impressive by today's benchmarks.

“Graphics: 4/5 (yes, I know it's no longer the 2000s).”
“[i]Graphics[/i]: the graphics are pretty standard fare for a casual matching game.”

“The game does allow you to go back to previously completed levels to try to get a better score, so it is slightly replayable.”
“3 hours isn't really a good length for the cost of the game.”
