The graphics of the game are frequently praised for their beautiful and neat art style, featuring cool, cartoony creatures that enhance the overall aesthetic. While some players noted that the visuals are impressive, they also mentioned challenges in gameplay clarity, such as difficulty in determining damage to enemies. Overall, the art style is a standout feature, with many reviewers expressing a desire for more hand-drawn games from the developers.
- “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.”
- “Pros: nice storyline (even though an extinct mankind is still throwing nuclear bombs every six seconds), good graphics.”
- “So I gave it a go as it's a good game concept with a lovable art style.”
- “The art style was neat and the cartoony creatures looked cool, but otherwise this game doesn't seem to have much going for it.”
- “Even a R7 260X graphics card doesn't stand a chance against its supreme power.”

The game's soundtrack is generally praised as "nice" and "kick ass," enhancing the overall experience, especially in the challenging gameplay. However, the looping nature of the level music can become repetitive and annoying, particularly since players cannot turn it off, which may contribute to a sense of nervousness during play.
- “The soundtrack is really nice.”
- “The level soundtrack loops from the beginning when you die.”
- “This is a freaking hard game. I got it for free for whatever reason. It's a side-scrolling, third-person roach shooting simulator with a kick-ass soundtrack, but it can get annoying after a while. Also, you can't turn it off!”
- “The soundtrack gets me nervous.”
