    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the noticeable improvements over the original 1995 pixel art style, others criticize the updated visuals as blurry and unappealing. Overall, the enhancements are seen as a step up, but they fall short of modern standards, leading to a lackluster visual experience.

    • “This is a classic adventure released in 1995. Although you should not expect something like an RTX remaster in graphics, the improvements are noticeable and much appreciated compared to the old pixel graphic style.”
    • “It boasts with 'enhanced' controls and visuals, yet the 'updated' visuals look so, so bad - all blurry and hard to digest.”
    • “The graphics are similar, the controls felt actually worse than what I played in the past.”
    • “No music in the game menu (as in the smartphone version), the graphics are very bad and strange, the controls are very bad, often the cloud save deletes the save slot, there are no achievements, and there are only seven slots for save.”

    • “I encountered frequent frame drops and stuttering, which really detracts from the overall experience. The optimization needs significant improvement.”
