    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the low-quality retro pixel art and amateurish drawings, while others appreciate the improved visuals in the updated version. Many users noted a lack of customization options and resolution settings, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite the visual shortcomings, some players found the graphics to be appealing, especially in comparison to previous titles from the same developer.

    • “As a pro player who has 100% this game, I can say the gameplay is out of this world and the graphics are stunning.”
    • “The updated version has much better graphics - it's generally quite well drawn.”
    • “The graphics look somewhat lovely, but given the quality of this game as well as the other games by the same developer, I would assume that those are just flipped assets.”
    • “The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel art used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint style drawings (I won't deign to call these 'illustrations').”
    • “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can do graphics properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
    • “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews are polarized, with some players finding it monotonous and lacking depth, primarily appealing to highscore hunters, while others praise its unique mechanics and stunning graphics. Critics note that the repetitive nature and absence of a highscore system diminish the overall experience, leading to quick burnout. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a mixed bag, with nostalgia for its retro roots overshadowed by its lack of innovation.

    • “As a pro player who has 100% this game, I can say the gameplay is out of this world and the graphics are stunning.”
    • “The game is easily recognizable for what it is - a remake of a 1990s production with the same gameplay (except that the original version used stick figures - and it was men coming out of the building, not babies).”
    • “Boring gameplay, only for high score hunters. How far can you go? (How many babies can you get? World record?) But sadly, there is no count or high score.”
    • “After a few minutes of gameplay, I had all achievements while already being fed up with the same boring routine and the never-ending sound loops.”
    • “In my very honest opinion, there is no gameplay at all.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
