The graphics in this game have been criticized for being poorly executed, with artwork that appears to be hastily traced and lacking originality. Many reviewers note that the visuals do not meet the standards expected from PC games, reflecting a trend of low-quality asset flipping by the developer. Overall, the minimalist design and lazy artwork detract significantly from the gaming experience.
- “There are several locations and many funny cultural and geographical references to find.”
- “This time they ripped off someone's Godot 2D template for making one of those minimalist 'Where's Wally' hidden object games, although in this case it looks like it was supplemented with some really lazy artwork that looks like it was just traced in MS Paint from someone else's real art. This should be no surprise as the developer is a notorious Eastern Bloc asset flip scammer and review manipulator.”
- “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 strategy of these games is heavily criticized as exploitative, with many reviewers labeling them as cash grabs or shovelware. The developers are accused of recycling premade templates and assets to create low-effort games, often accompanied by fake reviews to mislead potential buyers. Overall, the monetization practices are seen as deceptive and lacking originality.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam or cash grab.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs or scams.”
