The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style with low-polygon, untextured assets reminiscent of early 1990s 3D games, which many players find unappealing and indicative of a lack of effort from the developers. While it offers a range of graphic options, the differences are minimal and do not enhance the overall aesthetic, leading to a perception that the visuals are subpar despite the game's decent puzzles and achievement system. Overall, the graphics fail to impress and detract from the gaming experience.
- “Still, the game asks you to choose between tons of different graphic options: view distance, effects, shadows, textures, foliage, 3D resolution, frame rate... of course, between low and epic, the difference is just in the angles of some cubes, nothing really more.”
- “+ decent graphics”
- “A game that gives you a lot of achievements, has good puzzles, and decent graphics.”
- “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
- “Still, the game asks you to choose between tons of different graphic options: view distance, effects, shadows, textures, foliage, 3D resolution, frame rate... but between low and epic, the difference is just in the angles of some cubes, nothing really more.”

While it could potentially add depth to a puzzle game, the lack of engaging storytelling and pacing makes repeated tasks feel burdensome rather than rewarding. Frequent restarts exacerbate this issue, leading to a cycle of monotony.
- “This concept doesn't work in this purely raw form of tediousness. While it might be a new interesting aspect to a puzzle game, what makes the more memorable puzzle games memorable are the stories, the overall pacing, and the fact that even if you fail, you'll get back to it in no time.”
