The graphics received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing them as poor and lacking direction, while others found the aesthetics to be pleasing and charming. The frame rate cap of 60 fps was also noted, which may affect the overall visual experience.
- “Aesthetically pleasing.”
- “Da is cute, and I really like the game aesthetics too.”
- “Bad graphics, poor mechanics, 60 fps cap, no direction at all; you have to wait 10 minutes into each level for a hint to know what you're looking at.”

The game's optimization is severely lacking, with performance issues that can render it unplayable on certain GPUs. Players also report choppy animations and unclear indicators for navigation, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences, particularly when interacting with other characters.
- “Performance absolutely tanks in some sections, to unplayable levels depending on your GPU.”
- “You have to figure out from no actual indicator where to stand, where to jump, etc. Animation is not optimized - even for this style it's choppy (it's not my gaming rig). Everything is yellow, and there are collision physics, so if while running/jumping down the hall you bump your buddy, say goodbye to the world and start the loop again.”

- “The lack of tutorial or guidance leaves players feeling lost and confused, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
