The graphics of the game are generally praised for their beautiful and neat art style, featuring cool, cartoony creatures. While some players noted issues with gameplay clarity and performance on lower-end hardware, the overall visual appeal is considered a strong point, especially given the game's low price.
“Really beautiful art style, but still kinda hard even on kid mode. It's hard to tell if you're damaging some enemies and bosses, but for how cheap this game is, it's great. The devs should make more hand-drawn games like this.”
“The art style was neat, and the cartoony creatures looked cool.”
“Pros: nice storyline, good graphics.”

The game's soundtrack is generally praised as nice and fitting, enhancing the experience with a "kick ass" vibe.

“The soundtrack gets me nervous.”
