The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant art style and engaging aesthetics, with a retro parody vibe that adds to the overall experience. Players appreciate the humor and creativity in the visuals, such as the amusing dancing penguin gif, although some note that the busy design can occasionally hinder gameplay. Overall, the combination of fun visuals and a dynamic soundtrack contributes to an exciting and memorable gaming experience.
“Really pretty art style and aesthetics too.”
“Big fan of the retro parody aesthetic, too!”
“The graphics are also really great, specifically the dancing penguin gif in the ice level made me laugh every time I saw it, beautiful game.”
“Definitely felt like I should've chugged some energy drinks for even a shred of hope to keep up with the visuals.”
“It does suffer from some of the same things that often pull down other 3D speedrunning games like this - the controls feel very weird at first, and the game has a tendency to just kill you sometimes if you hit a piece of geometry wrong or fail to correctly interpret where the level designer wants you to go (a task that isn't made any easier by the, let's say 'busy' aesthetic).”
