The graphics of the game are described as simplistic and cartoonish 2D visuals, reminiscent of low-effort mobile apps, which fail to impress PC gamers accustomed to higher quality graphics. While there are options to adjust resolution, they do not enhance the overall visual quality, leaving the graphics feeling lackluster and unrefined. Despite some unique and cute designs in worlds and bosses, the overall presentation is seen as a missed opportunity for a more visually engaging experience.

- “Every world and every boss are unique, challenging, and have cute graphics.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort mobile apps.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

- “After completing each of the levels in a world, you get to the world's boss level, which is basically an arena where you try to use the central gameplay mechanic to defeat the boss.”
