The graphics of the game are characterized by solid 8-bit and NES-style pixel art, which some players appreciate for its nostalgic charm. However, there are mixed feelings about the overall execution, with some reviewers suggesting that the graphics do not align with the game's design and progression. Despite the retro aesthetic, there are concerns about the game's originality and the challenge of distinguishing quality titles in a market saturated with similar styles.
- “The art style fits perfectly.”
- “What you are seeing is the result of, I am sure, hundreds of hours spent on just graphics work alone.”
- “This is nothing like Zelda 2 -- not the graphics, not the oddly linear progression, and not the levels, which are repeatable left-to-right time challenges plopped on the map.”
- “Look at those solid, 8-bit graphics right there.”
- “Assuming the developer is probably in junior high and not asking much for this game to start with, I don't want to discourage a good effort or ambition. However, I seriously wish Steam would open a site called 'Steam Shovel' and move all of the kiddy-bopper GameMaker games to it, as it's very hard to discern what to take seriously nowadays since even big development houses are using retro graphics.”

- “It heavily relied on off-screen gameplay (like predicting when an iron zombie would be far away from the cliff's edge in the purple cave despite having an ultrawide monitor), getting hit 10 times in a row because of stuff you can't control way too often.”
