The graphics have been criticized for not delivering a smooth experience, with players struggling to achieve more than 70 fps even on the lowest settings (720p). However, the overall game design is appreciated, indicating that while the visuals may be lacking, the artistic direction has potential.
“I can't get more than 70 fps on the lowest graphics (720p), so it's not enjoyable to play. The game design is actually pretty good, and the game mechanics are okay, but not polished; at least movement exists.”
