The game's graphics are characterized by simple, cartoony 2D visuals typical of low-effort mobile apps, which may disappoint PC gamers accustomed to higher-quality 3D graphics. While some players appreciate the unique art style and variety in levels and seasonal events, the overall execution lacks the depth and sophistication expected from a PC title.
“I loved the art style of the game with the cartoon effect, and every single level and seasonal event is so different with so many extra special art.”
“The mobile app features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort mobile apps.”
“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.”
“3D graphics programming does require a degree of skill and competence, and unfortunately not all developers have the budget or talent to deliver this, despite 3D graphics cards hitting the mainstream in the 1990s.”

The monetization of "Fatty Rabbit Hole" is criticized as a blatant cash grab by mobile developers, with users noting its poor quality and origins as a mobile app rather than a legitimate PC game. The game is perceived as a low-effort product aimed at exploiting players financially, rather than providing a meaningful gaming experience.
“Fatty Rabbit Hole is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it were a real PC game. It's a cash grab from greedy mobile developers. This mobile app is basically an in-joke for a crappy podcast.”
“GameMaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
