- A charming and simple graffiti sandbox game that provides a therapeutic and creative outlet.
- The game has a relaxing vibe and allows players to express themselves through art in a low-poly environment.
- Despite its limitations, it offers a fun experience for those who enjoy doodling and experimenting with colors.
- The game suffers from technical issues, including limited settings, small maps, and a lack of diverse tools and colors.
- Some players find the pixelated graphics and simplistic mechanics to be restrictive and not conducive to serious graffiti art.
- The absence of features like jumping, erasing, and a more extensive color palette can hinder creativity and gameplay enjoyment.

The music in the game is generally well-received, described as nice and mood-enhancing, but players find the limited selection of four or five songs repetitive. Many users express a desire for more tracks, the ability to add custom music, and an option to turn off the music entirely. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the experience, there is a clear demand for greater variety and customization.
“The music in this game is really nice and definitely helps get you in the mood for creating something.”
“The music bops, the graphics are cool, and painting feels good.”
“Ok, I know it's a pixel-based game, but it's honestly a lot cooler once you get in. The music is nice, you move the boombox around to adjust the level... I mean it has a whole bunch of cool features.”
“You get four or five songs on a boombox that get very repetitive very fast.”
“Needs more songs on the radio though, maybe an option to include custom mp3s or tracks?”
“But please make an option to turn off music.”

The game's story aspect is minimal, with some players noting a lack of narrative focus, as it primarily revolves around gameplay mechanics like spray painting. However, interest is piqued by the release of a second part two years later, which promises a more developed story and additional options.
“No story, just you and some spray paint.”
