The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic and lackluster 2D art assets, which offer minimal improvement even with resolution adjustments. Reviewers find the visual presentation to be mediocre at best, likening it to outdated games and suggesting that it lacks the animation and detail expected in modern titles. Overall, the graphics are deemed disappointing and in need of significant enhancement.
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D 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 lackluster 2D visuals.”
“While the artwork itself might be considered mediocre and passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”

The gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, but the simplistic user interface and lack of guidance for new players detract from the overall experience. While the mechanics are interesting, the absence of features like an easy mode or tutorial makes it challenging for newcomers to fully appreciate the game.
“It really is very simplistic in terms of UI, but the gameplay is a real kick to the cranium.”
“The mechanics are neat and interesting, but it desperately needs a way to introduce new players, such as an easy mode, hint system, or in-depth tutorial.”
“The gameplay is overly simplistic, and the user interface feels like it belongs in a browser game, with mostly just 2D static images.”
“The gameplay lacks depth and complexity, making it feel more like a casual experience than a fully developed game.”
“The user interface is very basic, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.”
