The music in the game features a quirky, goofy style, particularly highlighted during the initial boss fight with a spider. However, the overall experience is somewhat overshadowed by a confusing map design and an ineffective rage/health system.

- “The music lacks variety and fails to enhance the overall atmosphere of the game.”

The graphics have been compared to the retro aesthetic of NES games, specifically noting a "barfy" style reminiscent of Dracula. Additionally, the platforming mechanics appear to be quite finicky, which may affect the overall visual experience.
- “The platforming seems to be really picky, and the game reminds me of the barfy aesthetic of Dracula on NES.”
