The graphics of the game are criticized for their outdated, primitive pixel art style and lack of resolution options, resulting in a generic and flimsy visual experience. While some appreciate the simplicity in design, many feel it detracts from the overall quality, with a notable absence of content and creativity in level design.
- “Cool platformer with simple visuals and controls.”
- “From primitive graphics, flimsy level design, very little content, template copy-paste look and feel... the only novel thing here is the 'cloning' gimmick (you create a clone of yourself that you can use as an extra platform, etc., you know the type of platformer element), and of course the fake Russian reviews the developer paid for.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel 'art' as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

- “It’s frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
- “The in-game purchases are overpriced and offer little value, which detracts from the overall experience.”
