The music in the game is characterized by repetitive looping tracks, with one song assigned to each set of 10 levels and another for the stage select screen. Many players find the music irritating and monotonous, leading to a desire to mute it and listen to their own choices instead. While the soundtrack may not be well-received, the overall art style is appreciated, providing a contrast to the music's shortcomings.
- “Starts slow, but when you get an upgrade, the doom music kicks in.”
- “Doing 10 levels to the same looping song can get old fast, but you can just mute the in-game music and listen to whatever music you want, so that's no big deal.”
- “The same track will play for its set of 10 levels, and it's some of the most irritating music I've ever heard in my life.”
- “Dunno, this game's soundtrack is really repetitive, which gets annoying.”
- “The music consists of 6 looping songs - one for each set of 10 levels and one for the level select screen.”

The graphics are characterized by a simple yet enjoyable retro pixel art style, utilizing pastel and vibrant colors, though they lack detailed animation. While some players appreciate the cute aesthetic, others criticize the overall execution as lazy and reminiscent of typical GameMaker Studio titles. Overall, the visuals are considered low-quality but charming for a casual platformer experience.
- “While the music can get a tad irritating, the art style is quite enjoyable, albeit rather simple.”
- “Not too shabby a little platformer if you want silly cute graphics, casual to medium difficulty, cheery - but going into repetitive fast tunes and a few achievements to boost your e-go. For 0.79 coins and a few hours of fun, yeah sure, go ahead.”
- “Nice graphics using pixel art and mixed pastel/vibrant colors without much animation, like the immobile bosses and your instant death screen after reaching 0 HP.”
- “Like most GameMaker Studio construction kit games, this features lazy 2D retro pixel art instead of professionally done, contemporary PC graphics.”
- “Graphics are low.”
