The graphics performance is severely criticized, with users reporting issues such as screen tearing, pop-in effects, and ineffective lighting. There are minimal customization options, leading to blurry visuals on lower settings, and the frame rate is unregulated, resulting in excessively high FPS without any benefit. Overall, the graphical experience is deemed unsatisfactory and poorly optimized.
- “Performance is awful, with no graphics options. There's screen tearing, and the whole environment is constantly popping in and out. Not to mention that the lighting is completely useless, as you will always have light all the way down to the abyss.”
- “There are almost no settings for customizing the graphics. Lower graphics settings literally just make it super blurry. The frame rate does not get limited (I believe there was a setting for it, but it did not work), so my game was running at over 200fps for no reason at all.”

The gameplay is criticized for its clunky levitation mechanic, which feels awkward and unresponsive, detracting from the overall experience. Reviewers note that the game fails to effectively emulate its digging theme, with poorly functioning mechanics and performance issues that make it unenjoyable.
- “The levitation mechanic is clunky; rather than using a jetpack, you have to press 'Q' and move up or down by turning the camera and pressing 'W' to gain altitude.”
- “It is clearly trying to emulate a game about digging a hole, but does it very poorly. None of the game's mechanics work properly, it runs poorly, and it just frankly isn't fun.”

The monetization strategy is perceived as a quick cash grab, reminiscent of simplistic games like "a game about digging a hole," suggesting a lack of depth and value for players.
