The graphics are intentionally designed in a retro 2D pixel style reminiscent of the 1990s, which may feel outdated given modern standards. There are no options to adjust resolution or customize visual settings, limiting the ability to enhance the low-quality appearance. However, the nostalgic SNES-like visuals are complemented well by the pleasant music.
