The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their low quality, resembling amateurish artwork and retro pixel art that fails to meet contemporary standards. Reviewers note that the visuals appear to be a poorly executed blend of basic designs, lacking both budget and talent, resulting in a disappointing overall aesthetic that cannot be improved through resolution adjustments.
- “This one isn't exactly a Unity asset flip; if it was, the graphics would be better. But it does look like either someone's homework assignment or someone just copy-pasted a tutorial/demo for a Unity platformer and put their own skin on it. Either way, it's garbage.”
- “The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel 'art' used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint style drawings I've ever seen.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can do graphics properly or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be simplistic, involving repetitive actions in a basic arena with three platform layers while avoiding enemies like brown gombas.
- “You are simply grinding in this very basic arena of three platform layers and trying to dodge as many brown Goombas as possible.”
- “The repetitive nature of grinding in this game makes it feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
- “I found myself stuck in an endless loop of grinding, which quickly became tedious and unfulfilling.”
