The graphics of the game are described as a unique blend of charming and bizarre, creating a visually striking experience that resembles a fever dream or a glitchy music video. While the aesthetic is praised for its creativity and chaotic beauty, some players note that the intense visuals and lighting effects can be overwhelming, leading to discomfort during extended play. Overall, the game's distinctive art style contributes significantly to its fun and engaging platforming experience.
“And it isn't afraid to go overboard with its graphical style and presentation either, and for that I applaud it.”
“The design of these levels fits in with the art style as well; platforms scattered about the world and slides provide a very solid platforming experience in what seems to be a fractured and beautifully chaotic world.”

While there is a narrative element, the focus seems to be more on the various minigames available in the main lobby, which may appeal to those who enjoy fun gameplay over a strong storyline.
“I really like story-driven games, and FPS stuff nowadays, but this game is pretty fun, not something I'd typically purchase for myself though.”
“As of this comment, there is a bit of story involved, but the main lobby area gives you access to different minigames.”
