The graphics have received mixed reviews, with many noting a low polygon art style reminiscent of retro games like Star Fox, which some find charming while others consider below average. While the minimalistic design and art style have their supporters, there are calls for more contemporary visuals and additional environments in future updates.
“The graphics are simple, as if Star Fox for Super Nintendo was given HD VR treatment.”
“Minimalistic but good art style, cool controls on the jet; the jump seat one is too unstable in landing, though.”
“I enjoy the music and retro graphics, and am looking forward to more environments/tracks and hopefully multiplayer in future updates.”
“The low polygon art will never be replaced with contemporary graphics.”
“The graphics are really below average.”

“I still have two free-flight courses to check out, and I have already gotten almost 10 hours of gameplay out of this.”
“The gameplay is very solid for its value.”
“This is indeed an early access game, and it's not entirely polished or glitch-free (some inaccurate in-game text, some misplaced foliage in levels, game crashes or hangs if you take off your Rift while it's paused), but the overall gameplay is pretty solid.”
