The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the nostalgic MIDI soundtracks while others criticize the heavy reliance on ripped-off tracks and repetitive tunes. While certain levels feature well-fitting music that enhances the gameplay experience, the overuse of specific songs has been noted as lazy and detracting from the overall quality. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a blend of charming nostalgia and frustrating repetition.
“The soundtrack used throughout the game is made completely in MIDI, which gives the player a delightful feeling of nostalgia along with an earful of bliss from the sweet tunes.”
“When I was loading up this game, I was skeptical; how good could a 39p game be? But as I played, I was simply blown away by every single detail, from the fluid yet challenging gameplay to the perfect theatrical soundtrack that can be heard throughout the many varied and interesting levels of this masterpiece.”
“The music choice is very well-fitting with the desert, and I feel like it is very underappreciated in the Mineirinho community.”
“The one thing that annoys me most is that the one song that plays over and over and over and over and over is a copyrighted song.”
“It's just bad music (because it's all ripped off and bad covers) it's bad in the graphics.... I mean just look at it!”
“The graphics are horrible, the music is just the same 30-second MIDI track of the Gilligan's Island theme song repeating over and over again.”

Despite some praise for the gameplay and story, the graphical quality remains a significant drawback for many players.

“It combines the awesome console graphics with the awesome PC gameplay.”
“The graphics are horrible, the music is just the same 30-second MIDI track of the Gilligan's Island theme song repeating over and over again, the controls are... wow... there aren't even words to describe how atrocious they are, the camera has basically developed sentience and is actively mocking you the entire time, parts of the map aren't rendered because gamers never try to explore maps looking for secret stuff, and on top of everything else, your character is constantly drifting to the left.”
“Every launch of the game sets your desktop resolution to 1024x768, there are no options to set resolution nor are there any graphical options; you have to alt-tab out of the game and change the desktop's resolution to change the game's resolution.”
