The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the colorful visuals and unique art style reminiscent of classic platformers, while others criticize the lack of cohesion between backgrounds and characters, likening it to a hastily assembled asset pack. Overall, when functioning properly, the graphics contribute positively to the gameplay experience, though technical glitches detract from the overall impression.

“A very challenging platformer with a unique art style and clever level design.”
“This is a great 'old school' platformer, reminding me of lots of great games from my childhood, but with better graphics.”
“This has all the smoothness of a bad flash game. The art style is okay, but it doesn't fit; the background and enemies don't belong together, so it seems like it was some sort of asset pack hastily cobbled together in one day.”
