The game's graphics have received high praise for their vibrant and unique art style, reminiscent of the ena series, which captivates players with its colorful and chunky visuals. However, some users noted that the brightness can be overstimulating at times. Overall, the aesthetic is described as cute and engaging, complementing the gameplay and character interactions effectively.

“Amazing graphical style, incredibly deep characters, a moving story, a moral worth believing in, beat it in 20 minutes and now I'm sad.”
“Very cool art style and unique gameplay.”
“I also found myself struggling with how bright some of the visuals were to the point where I started feeling overstimulated while playing.”
“The unique and cute-garish aesthetics mask the fact that the platforming is actually quite demanding in places, and I'd expect even experienced run-and-jumpers to fall and fail several times in the half-hour of playtime.”
