The game's graphics have received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the use of outdated retro pixel art that lacks depth and quality, despite options to adjust resolution. Others, however, appreciate certain visual elements, particularly the backgrounds in later levels, indicating that while the overall graphics may be simplistic, there are moments of beauty.

- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC 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.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
