Reviews highlight a significant concern regarding the prevalence of poorly executed graphics in many games, often attributed to a lack of talent in game development. While some titles manage to succeed despite subpar visuals, the consensus is that good graphics can enhance the overall experience, alongside engaging gameplay and sound design.
“Good graphics, easy levels, great soundtrack.”
“It also happens to be easy, and doesn't need any proper talent in terms of game development or graphic artists. That's why reviewers are faced with so many of these terrible games with confrontingly bad graphics.”
“Developers must learn that Minecraft succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being exploitative and unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and cash grabs through the use of uncredited assets from other creators. Reviewers highlight a pattern of behavior from the developers, who allegedly use multiple accounts to promote their games and manipulate reviews, raising concerns about the integrity of their practices.
“It's important to also note the 'developers' here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab and shovelware.”
“Laush Dmitriy Sergeevich/Laush Studio have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through closely linked or alternate accounts.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time 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.”

The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and lacking depth, with poor physics that allow for level completion through exploitation. Reviewers suggest that developers should focus on enhancing creativity and introducing more engaging elements, such as enemies, to improve the overall experience.
“A lot of amateur developers see Minecraft's success and assume it's because it looks bad, not because it had unique and appealing game mechanics, and they try to emulate the success without understanding it.”
“The gameplay is as simple as it gets; however, it could benefit from more creativity, perhaps by adding some enemies to spice it up.”
“The gameplay is straightforward, but it feels like there is potential for deeper mechanics that could enhance the experience.”
“The gameplay is as simple as it gets; the physics are horrible, and you can just beat the levels by abusing them.”
“The gameplay is as basic as it gets. Be a bit more creative; maybe add some enemies to spice it up.”
