The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the use of stolen artwork and poor resolution handling, leading to a confusing visual experience. Conversely, others appreciate the unique character designs and art style reminiscent of classic JRPGs, noting that the graphics are cute and enjoyable.

“Love this game... easy to play and great graphics.”
“Characters are very unique and original, and the art style is similar to a classic JRPG.”
“Good graphics, cute cat.”
“To add further injury, Boogygames stole the watercolor artwork from artist Dmitriy Trubin, 'Pirate Cat on Deck', and used that as the backdrop without permission.”
“With terrible UI, bad music (seriously, whether you win or lose you get a cringeworthy jingle with high volume, which isn't exactly great for relaxing), bad implementation, confusing graphics, and inadequate resolution handling (most of the cards are below the board!), this makes me wish I could play the Windows 95 version instead.”
“For me, what I call the fun factor weighs heavily against the barebones graphics and options and price.”
