The graphics of the game are generally viewed as dated, with some users finding them uncomfortable and garish, particularly in later levels. However, many appreciate the charming aesthetic and the visuals' ability to outperform other titles from the same era. While not a graphic powerhouse by modern standards, the visuals still evoke nostalgia and contribute to the overall enjoyment of the gameplay.
“The graphics are fine; the fact that only jumping on the head can be used to defeat enemies and no weapons are available is a nice twist.”
“Visuals: 9/10”
“Revising it today, it's remarkably playable, has a charming aesthetic, and the second chapter ramps up the difficulty just enough to keep things interesting.”
“Maybe it was a great game for its time, but for now, VGA graphics made me very uncomfortable.”
“Might have to sit back from the screen for this one; the old graphics are a little garish at times, especially the backgrounds on some of the mid to later levels.”
“Now if you have never played it, you will be disappointed if you think it is a graphic powerhouse. Remember, these games were made before graphics were really important.”
