The graphics have been criticized as poorly executed pixel art, lacking the quality and detail expected in modern games. Reviewers suggest that this may stem from either a lack of skill or resources on the developer's part, and while some games have succeeded with similar styles, the overall impression is that the graphics detract from the experience rather than enhance it.
- “This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap '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.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
monetization
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized, with users labeling it as a cash grab that prioritizes profit over quality. The presence of numerous microtransactions and a low-value DLC, despite the game being unfinished, has led to a perception of exploitation rather than genuine development.
- “It's an abandoned early access cash grab, a garbage 2D retro pixel shooter of extremely poor quality, where, despite not finishing the game, the developer apparently had all the time in the world to infest this with a nasty cash shop and make empty DLC as well. Basically, any and every opportunity to beg for money from gamers, this developer is fully invested in.”
- “This isn't really free as the game is infested with mobile app store-like microtransactions and a $4 begging DLC with nothing in it.”
