The game's graphics feature a fun retro art style with polished visuals, but they are primarily simple and cartoony, reminiscent of low-effort mobile apps. While some players appreciate the aesthetic and animations, many criticize the lack of resolution options, poor optimization, and overall low production values, especially for a PC game. Overall, the graphics may appeal to some, but they fall short of the high standards expected by PC gamers.
