The game's graphics are visually appealing, featuring a clean art style and smooth animations that enhance the overall gameplay experience. However, concerns arise regarding the originality of the graphics, as many similar titles exhibit the same visual style and concepts, leading to skepticism about the developers' intentions and the quality of future updates.
- “The game is visually really appealing, with a clean art style and satisfying animations that make even simple tasks like adding fish to tanks or arranging stock feel oddly relaxing.”
- “The graphics are nice and the gameplay is smooth for the most part.”
- “I considered keeping it in hopes that they would improve upon it, but then I started seeing all of these 'X store simulator' games that have exactly the same graphics and concepts of opening the box, throwing out the box, etc. They are all supposedly by different developers, which makes me suspicious. It concerns me that they are putting out subpar games with no intention of improving them for a quick profit.”
- “The graphics are outdated and lack any real detail, making the game feel unpolished and uninviting.”
- “I was disappointed by the graphics; they look like they belong to a game from a decade ago, which really detracts from the overall experience.”

Many users find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious, with little reward for the effort invested. Even players who typically enjoy grinding feel that the lack of engaging activities and customization options diminishes the experience, leading to frustration and recommendations against playing.
- “Refunded - it's way too grindy, and that's coming from someone who loves the grind in games.”
- “There is very little you can actually do in the game; it's grindy for literally no reward. I don't recommend wasting your time, especially if you're one of those people who like to automate games like this. There is literally no way of doing that, and even if you're doing it just for a cool store, there is very little you can actually do in terms of designing fish tanks and the shop itself.”
