The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the breathtaking visuals and intricate level design, while others criticize the use of low-polygon, minimalist assets that evoke a retro aesthetic reminiscent of early 1990s games. Many users express disappointment over the lack of resolution options and graphical tweaks, suggesting that the simplistic visuals may be a cover for a lack of development effort. Overall, the game's graphics are seen as either a charming artistic choice or a sign of laziness, depending on the player's perspective.

“Super hard platformer with nice music, okay graphics, and only 8 levels.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to disguise it under the name of 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
“The graphics are minimalistic, and it seems like this game was made as an assignment in a game dev school or as a hobby.”
