The graphics of the game are widely praised for their retro, cartoonish art style reminiscent of classic 1930s animations and the popular game Cuphead. While many reviewers appreciate the aesthetic appeal and find it to be the standout feature, they also note that the visuals are not accompanied by innovative gameplay, leading to a sense of disappointment regarding the overall experience. Despite the charming graphics, some players feel that the game lacks depth and originality, making it more of a visual treat than a compelling game.
- “I like the retro art style.”
- “Forbidden Clicker Party is a straightforward clicker without any of the free-to-play trappings of most clickers on the market and has an art style akin to Cuphead.”
- “The art style is very appealing and possibly the best part of this game.”
- “The art style is the biggest plus of this game; but, it was almost certainly chosen because of the popularity of Cuphead, and the designs are nowhere near the level of polish and era-accuracy that Cuphead had.”
- “Looks cool but it's really stretching the idea of what a game is... all the work on these visuals and nothing is really done with it.”
- “A clicker party... while it might be fun to pass some time on your mobile while on a train, it's an absolute waste of time and hardware (mouse) on your PC... it's repetitive, boring, uninspired and the only decent thing about it is the art style.”

- “Kudos to the guys that found this spectacular mix of creepy ambient music and cartoon style!”
- “The only options available are the volume of the music and sounds, which is kind of lackluster even for a browser-based clicker and rather pathetic in a charge-for game... I can't customize whether I want it to notify me of things available in the store, at the very least?”
- “The soundtrack is all over the place.”
- “Sound level is either too low or too slow and the music is actually a little irritating.”
