The graphics have been criticized as poorly executed pixel art, lacking the quality and detail expected in modern games. Reviewers suggest that the subpar visuals detract from the overall experience, although some acknowledge that similar games have succeeded despite their graphics.
- “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

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 has led to perceptions of exploitation, detracting from the overall experience.
- “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.”
