The game's graphics are characterized by simplistic, cartoonish 2D art that lacks depth and quality, reminiscent of low-effort mobile apps. Despite options to adjust resolution, these do not enhance the visuals, leaving players with a lackluster graphical experience that fails to meet the expectations of PC gamers accustomed to more sophisticated designs. Overall, the graphics are seen as a significant drawback due to their minimalistic and uninspired nature.
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort mobile apps.”
“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.”
