“This game is a humorous platform game with heavy cues from I Wanna Be The Guy and Cat Mario. A YouTuber that played this game even made the latter comparison.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the pixel art as "godawful" and lacking effort, while others appreciate the cute aesthetic and character designs. Although the visuals are not the main focus of the game, they are described as solid and charming, contributing to the overall experience despite their simplicity.
“A tough as nails little platformer with a cute aesthetic.”
“Cute art style and character designs, decent music, some things are cute pixel art, and others look higher resolution than the pixelated ones; it's a troll platformer with a lot of jokes or fake stuff, I like it.”
“On top of all that, the visuals and audio in this game are solid, and the cute style stops you from getting mad at it.”
“This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
“It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
“Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

“I love how the music sets the tone for the gameplay, creating an immersive atmosphere that keeps me coming back for more.”
