The game features retro 16-bit graphics that are generally considered decent but lack the polish that some players may expect. While the visuals complement the challenging platforming experience, they may disappoint those seeking more refined graphics and sound effects. Overall, the aesthetic appeals to fans of pixel art, though opinions on its execution vary.

“Graphics are okay.”
“Additionally, the game's graphics and sound effects are not particularly impressive, which may be a letdown for players who prefer games with more polished visuals and sounds.”
