The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their low quality, featuring a mix of retro pixel art and amateurish MS Paint-style drawings that detract from the overall experience. Despite options to adjust resolution, the simplistic visuals remain unimproved, leading to a perception of the game as a low-budget, unpolished title that fails to deliver visually compelling content. While some players find the visuals adequate for gameplay, the general consensus is that they are disappointing and lack the polish expected in contemporary games.
- “The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel 'art' used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint-style drawings.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can do graphics properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
- “The bargain-basement graphics and animations certainly don’t help either, so you’re left with a game that feels like a flash rip-off of more compelling titles.”

The gameplay of "Save the Ninja Clan" is noted for its solid level design and balanced difficulty, making it engaging without being overly frustrating. However, it fails to introduce innovative mechanics and suffers from poor graphics, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “The gameplay is spot on, being difficult enough, but not so difficult you want to give up.”
- “While this is probably one of the better platformers on Steam in terms of level design and gameplay, it's standing out in a sea of low-quality games.”
- “While this is probably one of the better platformers on Steam in terms of level design and gameplay, it's poking its nose up out of a very deep, very dark, very low quality ocean of craptastic games.”
- “Save the Ninja Clan brings nothing new to the table, and spoils what little it does bring with disappointing mechanics and shoddy graphics.”

The game's humor is characterized by witty dialogue from an unseen administrator and clever commentary in secret "glitch" areas, adding a quirky charm to the experience. Players appreciate the blend of challenging gameplay with humorous elements, enhancing the overall fun.
- “This prompts some pretty funny dialogue from an unseen administrator and some extra challenging (sometimes unfairly so) deathtraps.”
- “Fun game, with good controls and some quirky humor.”
- “There are also nifty secret 'glitch' areas in 31 of the levels, which when accessed bring up a command prompt with witty humor as if the developer were watching you break their game.”
music

The music in the game is described as relaxing but ultimately forgettable, with some players finding it soothing for short periods. While it complements the gameplay, it does not leave a lasting impression.
- “Okay controls, simple story, forgettable music.”
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

The story conveys a powerful message about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing that giving up can prevent personal growth. While the narrative is straightforward and the gameplay controls are adequate, the overall experience is marred by forgettable music.
- “The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “The story is simple and forgettable, lacking depth and engagement.”
- “The moral of the story is unclear and feels forced, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
