The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some criticizing the pixel art as low-quality or lacking polish, while others praise its retro, 80s-inspired aesthetic and detailed, stylish menus reminiscent of classic games and Hotline Miami. Overall, the visual style is divisive but intentionally nostalgic.
- “It has a brilliant retro art style similar to old game consoles and has an 80s action movie feel even down to the smallest detail.”
- “The menus have a ton of polish, and the whole aesthetic is super reminiscent of Hotline Miami.”
- “This features really godawful pixelcrap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
