The graphics have been widely criticized for resembling low-quality flash games from the early 2000s, with many users describing them as "ugly" and "horrible." While some players appreciate the retro aesthetic and the option to adjust graphic intensity, the overall sentiment leans towards disappointment in visual quality.
“Some people like that aesthetic, and this might even be what the dev was going for (since there's a 'retro mode' button that compresses the graphics from 1-4 intensity), so if you're into those kinds of graphics, you'll probably like these.”
“The graphics feel like they're from a low-quality flash game from the early-mid 2000s.”

The music is characterized by war drums and arena-like instrumentation, but many find it reminiscent of rejected Adult Swim bumper music, leading to a mixed reception. While some may appreciate its surreal qualities, overall, it fails to resonate positively with a broader audience.
“It's basically war drums and similar instruments, possibly to make it feel more like an arena, but the music ultimately comes off as rejected Adult Swim bumper music.”
“If you really, really, really like 'surreal sounding' music though, you might like it.”
