The graphics are generally praised for their aesthetic appeal and impressive visuals, complemented by an addictive soundtrack. However, some users express a desire for lower contrast and less colorful palettes, as well as a mode to avoid repetitive screens during gameplay.
“The overall graphic style with the impressive soundtrack is addictive.”
“With great visuals and nice soundtrack?”
“I liked the aesthetics, although I would prefer lower contrast or less colorful palettes. Themes should be possible, and a mode where you didn't have to repeat the same screens every time you play would be great.”
“The graphics are quite underwhelming, lacking detail and polish. It feels like a missed opportunity to create a more immersive experience.”
“While the art style has potential, the execution falls flat. The textures are bland, and the overall visual presentation feels outdated.”
