The music in the game is described as generally okay but repetitive, with short tracks that can become tiresome quickly. While some players found it relaxing, others found it annoying, particularly due to the frequent and repetitive announcements during gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack does not leave a lasting positive impression.

The graphics of the game are criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of typical pixel art, with some reviewers suggesting that they could benefit from an overhaul. Additionally, the small size of the 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.”
“The graphics are annoying, and the announcer is annoying by saying 'sweet new collectible' every single time you pick one up.”
