Overall, the visuals are described as either charmingly simple or disappointingly inadequate, depending on the player's perspective.
“The game features colorful and vibrant visuals that enhance the overall gaming experience.”
“The bright and lively graphics create an immersive world that players will enjoy exploring.”

“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its fun and enjoyable nature, while others find it generic and uninspired, failing to leave a lasting impression. Additionally, the heavy electric guitar usage is noted to clash with the game's minimalistic visual style, leading some to prefer playing with the music turned off. Overall, while the soundtrack has its fans, it appears to lack the memorability needed to enhance the game's atmosphere.
“Wow, the music in this game is sublime and the gameplay is fun and interesting; it's always nice to find something new in the 2D platformer world.”
“The soundtrack is reminiscent of Super Mario Bros. with its heavy electric guitar usage.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“But for a game with such a simple art style, the music clashes with the game's visual presentation, and I found that I enjoyed the game more when the music was turned completely off.”
“The game's soundtrack may be generic and uninspired, failing to leave a lasting impression on players.”
“Generic soundtrack fails to leave a lasting impression.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized as a cash grab, with accusations of the developer using premade templates and asset flips to create low-quality products. Users describe the pricing as unrealistic given the game's defects and the unethical practices of the developer, suggesting that the offerings are more akin to shovelware than legitimate games.
“Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
“David Mulder and the SA industry have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts like Zemunbre, etc. (uses the same support email address, so you know it's the same person, unless there are two people who use one email account).”
“Super Switch has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of around $4 USD; it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer.”
