The graphics of the game are largely criticized for their simplistic and low-quality vector art, which fails to improve even with resolution adjustments, resulting in a mediocre visual experience reminiscent of early arcade games. While some players find the cartoony style fitting for the game's theme, the overall presentation is considered negligible, lacking the animation and detail found in classic titles like Pac-Man and Space Invaders.
- “The graphics in this game is a mixture between arcade and modern in a sense.”
- “Apart from that, the game is great, the cartoony graphics really suit the style of the game.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low-quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”
- “While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and minimal mechanics, making it accessible yet challenging. However, players have noted inconsistencies in the mechanics, particularly with the chef's hand movement and the knife's hitbox, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game features polished art and offers potential for mod creation.
- “Kinda dumb, kinda smart, this is at least a good example of how games can work just fine with minimal mechanics and a simple but challenging premise.”
- “The idea is good, I just wish the mechanics worked better; however, I may try out the mod creation.”
- “Check out my video to see some gameplay!”
- “There's no real story, and the gameplay is far from difficult or complicated.”
