    The graphics are criticized for being low-quality pixel art that feels unpolished and detracts from the experience, though updates have improved consistency. While some successful games use simple graphics effectively, this title’s visuals are seen as a drawback that could benefit from a redesign.

    • “Update: The game received several updates that made graphics more consistent and fixed some game-breaking bugs.”
    • “It might just need better graphics if you want to keep the health bars for the enemies.”
    • “This features really godawful pixelcrap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
    • “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 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.”
