The graphics have been criticized as poorly executed pixel art, leading to a negative perception of the game's visual quality. While some players argue that similar games have succeeded despite subpar graphics, the overall sentiment suggests that the visuals detract from the experience rather than enhance it.
- “This features really godawful 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.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized due to numerous bugs, including glitches that cause players to get stuck in the environment and erratic power-ups that can launch characters outside the map. Additionally, the floaty controls detract from the overall experience, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience despite the game's potential.
- “This game would have been cool if it wasn't full of bugs, from the random glitches when you get stuck in the floor or walls to the power-ups sending you flying into space outside the border of the map. The floaty controls feel like Flappy Bird, which is not a compliment at all.”
- “Very good game, just super buggy.”
