    The game's graphics receive mixed reviews, with some players noting a chaotic blend of high and low-resolution textures and poorly edited sprites, while others appreciate the cartoony art style and fun visuals. However, the graphics can sometimes overshadow gameplay elements, making it difficult to identify key interactive objects. Overall, while some find the graphics enjoyable, others feel they detract from the overall experience compared to previous titles by the same developers.

    • “Graphics are nice, but they're too much 'predominant' - these kinds of games need the focus only on the player, the enemies, and most of all the things you can trigger: you must see at first glance where the bombs are, where the enemies are located, and which tiles you can remove in order to make your path.”
    • “Good graphics!”
    • “Finally, I really loved the art style.”
    • “Graphically, the game is also messy, with a mix of high and low resolution textures, poorly edited sprites, and a mismatched font.”
    • “The developers are the same ones behind 'Save Jesus', which I found to be much better; many elements are exactly the same, like the different balls you can use and the graphics style, but 'Save Jesus' was more beautiful and visually appealing than this one, for sure.”
    • “The graphics are very cartoony, reminiscent of a Flash game.”

    • “Although the ball physics are the core mechanic of the game, they are not implemented very well.”
    • “Another gameplay issue is that some levels have the ball already in motion as the stage begins, so you will have to needlessly restart a few times while you fully analyze the level to know how to proceed.”
