- “Graphics are fairly nice, very bright, and I like them.”
- “Good graphics (I especially like the monster art) and music.”
- “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.”
- “While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”

The music in the game is generally considered underwhelming and can be intrusive, as it resets to default volume settings during transitions, disrupting players who wish to listen to other audio. While some users appreciate the sound effects and graphics, the overall contribution of the music to the gameplay experience is seen as minimal.
- “Good graphics (I especially like the monster art) and music.”
- “Cool music and sound effects.”
- “The music also comes right back on if you die.”
- “When the game refreshes itself, it doesn't remember the data for sound volume, so it ends up resetting to defaults. This can get grating as the music isn't the best and can be annoying when you want to listen to something while you play.”
- “Every time the game transitioned stages (character screen to game or back), the music would come back on and the sound effects never went off.”
- “The music is there, and it does not add much to the game.”
