The graphics are generally described as cute, stylized, and aesthetically pleasing with a papercraft or cartoony low-poly art style that contributes to a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. While not cutting-edge or highly polished, they are well-suited for a modest indie game and effectively support the overall charm and playability. Some minor issues include limited visual variety and occasional confusing cues, but the visuals are praised for being easy to understand and appealing, especially for a casual or younger audience.
- “The game is really aesthetically pleasing and really cute.”
- “Ubaste has a nice papercraft-style art style, which is very nice and welcoming.”
- “Graphics for this type of game are excellent.”
- “The game appears to be a small-scale, possibly student project with modestly tolerable but unpolished visuals.”
- “The graphics have the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, featuring a clunkier control scheme and less-than-cutting-edge visuals.”

The gameplay features a unique spirit-splitting mechanic that offers promising potential for non-linear exploration and puzzles, creating an engaging experience. However, movement and controls could use improvement, and some mechanics like the ghost aspect and achievement system feel underdeveloped. Overall, it’s fun with interesting ideas but needs refinement.
- “The main mechanic of splitting your body and ghost to traverse different paths has a lot of potential, especially for non-linear exploration and puzzles.”
- “The ghost mechanic had good use, but needs to be expanded upon, so far it's only bouncing on clouds.”
- “In that short time it shows neat mechanics and has great potential for a longer game.”
- “Need more work on game control though because the core gameplay is still platforming.”

- “Music and visuals bring out the comfy feeling.”
- “Basic but unobtrusive music with reasonable and easy-to-understand graphics, and a cute fat cat to play as.”
- “The music is fun, but it's the only sound in the game.”
