The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them average or decent, while others criticize them as ugly and poorly executed. Despite some appealing visuals, many users report significant bugs and issues that detract from the overall experience, suggesting that the graphics alone cannot redeem the game's numerous flaws.
“Even though it has nice looking graphics, the game has a lot of bugs crucial for progressing.”
“The only thing decent are the graphics, which they aren't even responsible for; they purchased them as assets along with the engine presumably.”
“The graphics were just average for me, nothing impressive!”
“Ugly graphics, terrible controls, poor luminosity, unforgivable spelling mistakes (e.g. intelligence), atrocious noises (the noise the guy makes when he jumps is just way past annoying).”
“The only graphics they might have made are the sprites that stand out from the rest because of their poor quality.”

The story has been criticized for its poor writing and translation, leading to a lack of coherence and engagement. While some see potential for improvement, the overall execution detracts from the gameplay experience, making it easy for players to skip dialogue and miss key narrative elements. As it stands, the story does not enhance the platforming experience and is generally deemed unworthy of attention.
“I'd say that the story seems to have been written in another language then translated to English, but that would imply the story had any merit to it before being translated.”
“It has potential; a revision of the story and tweaking of the gameplay would drastically improve it, but as it stands now, I would not recommend.”
“So, you're forced to hopefully skip the dialogue fast enough to kill them, therefore, effectively missing any part of the story you may have wanted to know, or... well, die.”
