The game's graphics are generally praised for their appealing art style and beautiful 3D models, creating a charming visual experience. However, some players find the lack of color and a distracting foreground crosshatch filter detract from the overall enjoyment, while others note that the art style can become monotonous and hinder gameplay by making it difficult to distinguish between projectiles and enemies. Overall, the graphics are seen as a strong point, though not without their flaws.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to the constant respawn of enemies that yield minimal rewards, primarily health and a limited selection of weapon power-ups. The lack of experience points for defeating enemies further exacerbates the monotony, making exploration feel less rewarding.
“As enemies continually respawn and you never get anything other than health, the same 3 or so weapon power-ups, and the generic projectile power-up, this ends up becoming very tedious.”
“Running around trying to find where to go would be less tedious if you gained XP for upgrades by killing enemies along the way, but you don't.”
“As enemies continually respawn and you never get anything other than health, the same 3 or so weapon power-ups, and the generic projectile power-up, this ends up becoming very tedious.”
