The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style with untextured low-polygon assets, reminiscent of early 1990s 3D games. This approach is perceived by some as a lack of effort or talent from the developers, rather than a deliberate artistic choice, leading to disappointment among players who expect more polished visuals.
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive and engaging.”
“Character models are poorly designed and animations are stiff, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, providing a good auditory experience despite the repetitive nature of the gameplay and environments. However, some players feel that the soundtrack becomes monotonous over time, contributing to an overall sense of staleness.
“Not my type of game, but to be honest, it gets rather stale real quick. The game punishes you in an unforgiving way by removing the 'revives' after a certain amount of time or deaths. It kind of sucks in general, but at least the music is good.”
“The maps all look the same with the same walls and doorways, and the music throughout the game is repetitive, accompanied by an explosion sound when you die.”
“The soundtrack is monotonous and fails to enhance the gaming experience, making it feel dull and uninspired.”
“The music lacks variety and becomes grating after a short period, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
