The game's graphics receive mixed reviews, with some praising the beautiful, colorful, and whimsical designs, particularly in the voxel-art style of the levels and characters. However, others criticize the low-polygon assets and mismatched art styles, likening it to outdated graphics from the mid-2000s, and note the lack of options for resolution or customization. Overall, while there are appealing elements, the inconsistency and low quality detract from the visual experience.

- “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
- “The game features lazy low-polygon 'retro' assets, making it look like a barely functional 3D game from the mid-2000s, but there's also some mismatched assets like the piles of coins that are done with a poor 'voxel' art style.”
