The graphics of the game are polarizing; while some praise them as amazing, potentially due to advanced software, others criticize the simplistic, retro 2D style reminiscent of low-effort flash games, with a lack of resolution options and graphics tweaks that detract from the overall quality expected by PC gamers.
- “Amazing graphics, probably because of the software Elon Musk made just for this game.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
- “The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 'retro' looking 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The monetization strategy of the games in question has been criticized as exploitative and unethical, with reviewers labeling them as cash grabs that rely on copying existing game templates and assets. This practice is seen as a form of shovelware, where developers prioritize profit over originality and quality, often flooding platforms like Steam with low-effort products.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and a cash grab.”
- “Hade Games/My Way Games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, either through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts.”
