The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their low quality, featuring untextured, low-polygon assets that resemble outdated 1990s visuals. Players are frustrated by the lack of customization options and the inability to improve the graphics, with some perceiving the minimalist design as a cover for poor development effort rather than a deliberate artistic choice. Overall, the graphics are seen as a significant drawback, detracting from the gaming experience.
- “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
- “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics (but you can make them worse with a '2D make the game suck even more' mode).”
- “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to disguise it under the name of 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”

The music in the game is described as both relaxing and energizing, providing a calming backdrop that helps players feel at ease, even amidst frequent deaths. It effectively motivates players to re-engage with the game after respawning, enhancing the overall experience.
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
- “You will die...a lot...but as soon as the level reloads, and you hear the music, you'll get amped to try again.”
