The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players find it relaxing, others describe it as annoying and repetitive, particularly due to the short length of the tracks. Overall, the soundtrack fails to leave a lasting impression, leading to player fatigue.
“The soundtrack is annoying, the graphics are annoying, and the announcer is annoying by saying 'sweet new collectible' every single time you pick one up.”
“But the songs are very short, and you get tired of them fast.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of typical tile-based platformers, with pixel art that some players feel lacks creativity and detail. Additionally, the small size of collectible sprites detracts from the overall visual experience.
“The graphics are beautifully crafted, with vibrant colors and detailed pixel art that bring the world to life.”
“The art style is charming and nostalgic, perfectly capturing the essence of classic platformers while adding a modern twist.”
“The environments are richly designed, with each level showcasing unique visuals that enhance the overall gameplay experience.”
“The graphics could use an overhaul; I know it's supposed to be simple pixelated, but more could have been done. The sprites for the collectibles are really small.”
“It's yet another tile-based platformer with pixel art graphics.”
