The graphics of the game are generally criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of low-effort 2D art typically found in flash or mobile games, with limited options for improvement. While some users find the visuals acceptable, the overall consensus is that the graphics do not meet the expectations of PC gamers, lacking the quality and detail typically associated with the platform.
“The graphics are fine, and actually better than I expected.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and 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.”

The monetization practices of Porcelain Labs, Skinny Jean Death Studios, Volens Nolens Games, and Enoops have been criticized for unethically exploiting others' work on Steam, primarily as a means to generate quick profits through low-quality offerings.
“Porcelain Labs, Skinny Jean Death Studios, Volens Nolens Games, and Enoops have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts.”
