The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their low quality, featuring a mix of retro pixel art and amateurish MS Paint-style textures that detract from the overall experience. While the art style may initially seem charming, it ultimately feels poorly executed and lacks the polish expected from contemporary games. Options to adjust resolution do not significantly enhance the simplistic visuals, leaving players with a lackluster graphical experience.
“The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel art used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint style textures I've ever seen.”
“It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can do graphics properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the mobile app, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the mobile app, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”

The monetization of "Galactic Landing" is criticized as a blatant cash grab by developers, who have repackaged an abandoned mobile app as a PC game. Reviewers highlight its lack of originality, labeling it a lazy imitation of the classic "Lunar Lander," further emphasizing the exploitative nature of its release on Steam.
“Galactic Landing is an abandoned early access mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Lunar Lander (copyright Atari, 1979).”
