The game's graphics are primarily simple, cartoony 2D visuals reminiscent of low-effort mobile apps, lacking options for resolution or customization. While some users appreciate the bright and cheerful art style, the overall quality is considered inadequate for a PC game, especially given the expectations for more sophisticated 3D graphics.

“Graphics are bright and cheerful.”
“Nice graphics.”
“There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
