The graphics in Grav Blazer Squared show a notable improvement over its predecessor, featuring enhanced visuals and a more user-friendly interface. However, opinions are mixed, with some elements described as "decent for flash" while others, like asteroids and certain enemy bases, are criticized as "bad clipart." Overall, while the game offers better graphics, some players still prefer the original's art style.
“What Grav Blazer Squared has to offer is a significant increase in graphics, a slightly easier to control ship, and a minimap.”
“Individual graphics range from 'decent for flash' (weapon particles) to 'bad clipart' (asteroids, some enemy bases).”

The music in the game has been criticized for being overly simplistic, featuring just a basic drum and guitar loop, which fails to enhance the experience. Many players find the repetitive sound effects during gameplay even more grating than the lackluster soundtrack.
“The soundtrack seems to consist of a single very basic drum and guitar loop.”
“I'm not sure whether the 'music' or the constant 'bloop-bloop-bloop-boom-bloop-bloop-bloop-boom' of gameplay is worse.”
