The graphics of the game are criticized for their low quality and lack of customization options, which detracts from the overall experience, especially for PC gamers accustomed to higher visual standards. While the simplistic art style may appeal to some, the bright colors and flashing effects can lead to eyestrain and discomfort during gameplay. Overall, the visuals are seen as a significant drawback, limiting enjoyment and immersion.
“If you love the art style and very simplistic games that are brutally difficult, you may get around 30 minutes of enjoyment out of this.”
“Another thing I don't quite like is the visuals; at first, it wasn't too bad to look at, but then I started to notice that every time you collect a square, the screen flashes, and every time you press a direction, the camera tilts in that direction. This, along with the bright colors, caused a bit of eyestrain. I understand that the bright colors are part of the style, but it can still be a bit headache-inducing.”
“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.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The music in the game is generally appreciated for its quality, but many users find it excessively loud and frustrating due to the lack of proper audio controls, forcing them to use external methods to adjust the volume.
“The music is nice, and for being basic, the art direction isn't bad, I guess.”
“The music is too loud.”
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music. You'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”

Players find the humor in the game's level design, particularly noting the unexpected difficulty spike in the 7th level compared to the final one, which adds a layer of confusion that some find amusing.
“Honestly, it is a very good game, but somehow the 7th level is harder than the last one, which I found pretty confusing and funny.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as exploitative, with users suggesting it resembles an asset flip or a template-based creation aimed solely at generating quick profits, reflecting a pattern of cash grab tactics from the developers' previous titles.
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it seems designed solely to squeeze money from players rather than enhance the gaming experience.”
“It’s frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it clear that the developers prioritize profit over player satisfaction.”
“The in-game purchases are overpriced and offer little value, making it hard to justify spending any money on this game.”

Players note that the lack of consequences for dying leads to a grinding experience, as frequent deaths become a non-issue. However, they acknowledge that introducing penalties for death could create an unfair challenge given the game's difficulty.
“This is mainly due to the fact that there is no consequence for dying, so the game basically becomes grinding. However, if there were consequences, it would be unfair because you die so much and so often.”
“The constant need to grind for resources makes the gameplay feel repetitive and tedious.”
“Grinding feels like a chore rather than an engaging part of the game, leading to a lack of motivation to continue playing.”
