The graphics of the game have been criticized for being poorly executed pixel art, which some reviewers feel detracts from the overall experience. While the aesthetic and vibe are appreciated, many believe that the lack of quality in the visuals reflects the developer's inexperience or limited resources. Despite this, some users note that similar games have succeeded despite their graphics, suggesting that the game's charm may still resonate with players.
- “This game has a great aesthetic and vibe about it; however, as a first game from this small studio, it's expected to have a few growing pains and bumps along the way.”
- “This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

The gameplay is seen as a solid alternative to the Google Chrome offline game, with potential for future improvements. However, players note issues such as the lack of a cooldown for the jump mechanic and brightness inconsistencies in some textures that need addressing.
- “This is a good alternative to the Google Chrome offline browser game and has the potential to advance further in the future. There are a few things that need to be worked on, such as the jump mechanic not having a slight cooldown and brightness shifting for some textures.”
