- “The graphics are good; it has a simple yet sort of anime style look with a great use of colors and simple designs. It's pretty beautiful. I particularly like the anime style intro for the game; it was very good and very pretty to look at, reminding me of old flash animations from Newgrounds.”

- “The difficulty had a good curve to it as well with it starting out relatively high: this isn't a game you're just gonna autopilot through, so don't let the cute graphics lull you into a false sense of security about that.”
