The graphics of the game are generally praised for their clean art style and pleasant visuals, contributing to an enjoyable gameplay experience. However, some users noted issues with strobe effects that can be overwhelming and glitches that detract from the overall aesthetic. Despite these drawbacks, the game's visuals are considered passable and align well with its engaging audio and ambiance.
- “The art style is clean, the gameplay is fun, and it’s over before it wears out its welcome.”
- “The game offers some nice graphics, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same.”
- “Just like its predecessor, the art style, audio, ambience and gameplay is nothing short of beautiful.”
- “But hitting the shield quickly causes the most insane strobe light I've ever seen in the year of our Lord 2023/2024, where game developers know, with years of retrospect, that the age of arcade strobes was bad and harmful. Just because the flashing lights do kind of play into that throwback aesthetic doesn't mean you have to use them to this degree.”
- “Other than the strange controls, I think a 2D Furi in 8-bit style could work out great with a couple of tweaks, especially considering the original Furi was already a top-down game with 3D graphics.”
