Overall, while the gameplay has interesting elements, it lacks depth and variety, leading some to recommend waiting for a sale.

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the pixel art style and creative mechanics, while others criticize the inconsistent quality and poorly designed UI. Notably, there are complaints about the use of AI-generated images and a lack of polish, such as a poorly trimmed title screen. Overall, the visuals seem to be a divisive aspect, with some players enjoying the aesthetic and others finding it lacking.
“Love the pixel graphics and the concept.”
“The mechanics are fun and creative, and the graphics fit my liking.”
“It's bad; it has a bad UI and bad graphics that are obviously sourced from all over the place and don't match each other. The title screen is a badly trimmed PNG, and the roguelike nature of the game makes it so that you have to restart again and again on harder difficulties to have a chance at succeeding.”
“Had a neat pixel art style, but the creator has decided to use AI-generated images.”
“The only thing I didn't like was the slightly pixelated graphics; you could have made the picture nicer.”
