The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the unique art style and atmosphere, while others criticize the overall quality as low and unfinished.

- “The graphics are very nice, and I am pleasantly surprised that as of now I only saw a few minor bugs.”
- “The graphic quality is low.”
- “Unfinished game, boring overall and not really all that fun. At least the animations are okay, but this shouldn't have been released in the state that it's in. The banner art looks better than the actual in-game graphics, which feels misleading because it does not look like that. Even as an early access title, this feels like some out-of-season joke.”
- “I do believe the game has potential, although the graphics, game mechanics, controls, and overall experience are mediocre at best at this point.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, particularly in the early stages where progress feels slow and reliant on defeating bosses to unlock upgrades. Many suggest that automating item collection would alleviate some of the tedium associated with looting, making the experience more enjoyable.
- “The game is really grindy; there doesn't seem to be a good way early on to start building a better starting position for each run. You have to defeat a boss just to pay for those improvements.”
- “Sincerely, I have nothing against farming a bit for getting items or unlocking new content, but the grinding feels excessive.”
- “Having coins, hearts, armor, and other consumable items automatically attract to and be collected by the player when nearby, rather than having to press 'E' to pick up every single item, would make looting feel much less tedious.”
