The graphics are characterized by a charming pixel art style that creates a pleasant atmosphere, though some users find the main menu and character sprites lacking in detail and variety. While the overall aesthetic is appreciated for its simplicity and cuteness, the limited sprite animations detract from the experience, especially during gameplay.
“The main menu is very barebones; it's done in a low-res pixel art style, and the main character has a very limited sprite set. There isn't even an up or down sprite, even though you spend about half the time going north or south.”
