The graphics are praised for their quality and visual appeal, but many users find the color palette overly repetitive, primarily featuring black and red, which leads to a lack of variety in the environments. While the visuals are impressive, they are undermined by the sameness of the levels and difficulty in distinguishing enemies, contributing to a sense of monotony. Overall, the graphics are a highlight, but they are not enough to compensate for the game's limited content and replayability.

- “The graphics are also pretty good, but you get tired of everything being black and red very quickly, and everything looks the same after a while.”
- “Great gameplay, great visuals.”
- “The levels look the same, enemies can be difficult to see due to the visuals, there's only about 6 upgrades that reset every level and 0 permanent upgrades as of writing this, despite a loading screen telling you that you can buy them.”
