The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the rock soundtrack while others find it overly loud and repetitive. Many criticize the inability to turn off the music and the frequent resets of tracks upon dying, which can lead to frustration and a sense of monotony. Overall, while there are moments of approval for the soundtrack, the execution and integration into gameplay leave much to be desired.
- “Good soundtrack.”
- “I approve of a rock soundtrack, but it seems too high energy for a standard platformer; it would go better with a racing game or a shooter. It's fine at first, but there are some issues here as well.”
- “Use good enough art and soundtrack to not make the player want to quit after 10 minutes.”
- “Make no mistake, there is nothing original about this game - the graphics and music both suck and were probably ripped from god knows where.”
- “There's only a few tracks, to make up for this they reuse the tracks only slightly sped-up or slowed-down, instead of just having more, and every time you start a level over it resets to a random song/tempo. Considering how much I died, the music got old real fast.”
- “Music tracks are grating and annoying, and they reset every time you die, so it's a bit like hitting the skip button through an album after about 30 seconds into a song.”

The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as messy, cheap, and poorly executed, despite an initially appealing art style. The bold black and white design fails to translate well in gameplay, leading to discomfort and difficulty in distinguishing characters. Overall, the visuals are considered a significant drawback, lacking originality and charm.
- “However, the graphics are the only thing I like about the game.”
- “The art style ends up being kind of tacky, and the gameplay is the same as any other rage-platformer you've ever played.”
- “New Unity project (as it was named in my taskbar) is a simple platformer with a Limbo aesthetic and none of its charm.”
- “Make no mistake, there is nothing original about this game - the graphics and music both suck and were probably ripped from god knows where.”
- “The art style ends up being kinda tacky, and the gameplay is the same as any other rage-platformer you've ever played.”
- “Art style: the game sports what should be a neat art style of all black with white shading. It looks good in the screenshots, but in the actual game, you can see how messy the lines are; it just looks cheap, and the player character is weirdly lopsided. Watching it run is rather uncomfortable.”

- “Last thoughts: the game will provide you with a lot of offline hours of gameplay.”
- “The game is all about jumping over obstacles, though the problems come in the physics.”

- “Gameplay: the game is all about jumping over obstacles, though the problems come in the physics.”
- “The art style ends up being kind of tacky, and the gameplay is the same as any other rage-platformer you've ever played.”
