The graphics have been widely criticized as poorly executed retro pixel art, which many reviewers feel detracts from the overall experience. While some argue that successful games have thrived despite similar aesthetics, the consensus is that the visuals in this title lack the quality and creativity expected from modern game design.
“This feature is really godawful, lazy retro pixel art instead of real graphics.”
“It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
“The developer claims a 'pixel artist' came up with the nauseatingly awful visuals in this tech demo.”
