The game's graphics are praised for their charming, cartoon-like art style that complements its whimsical nature, creating a visually appealing experience. However, technical issues such as menu navigation problems, aspect ratio limitations, and game-breaking bugs detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these flaws, the visuals and accompanying soundtrack are generally well-received.
“I really like the art style of this game!”
“The graphics are absolutely stunning with such a cool unique cartoon-like effect.”
“The graphics are charming and fitting for the game's whimsical nature.”
“However, the menu doesn't work with the controller, the game only supports a specific aspect ratio, the game doesn't save your changes to graphics quality, you clip through the world, saving/loading doesn't work, and you lose key items constantly. In just over the 2 hours I've played, I had to reset due to game-breaking issues 4 times.”
