The game's graphics feature a charming blend of 3D and sprite pixel aesthetics, which many players appreciate despite some performance issues like low FPS. However, there is a desire for more customizable graphics settings, particularly to adjust lighting effects. Overall, the unique visual style complements the game's enjoyable setting.

“The game could do with some music and graphics settings, maybe an option to tone down the lighting, but this game is enjoyable even with low FPS.”
