The graphics in the game are described as basic and functional, lacking polish and depth, which may disappoint players seeking more visually appealing experiences. Users have noted poor optimization, with no adjustable graphics settings beyond resolution, leading to performance issues. Overall, while the game shows potential, significant improvements in graphics and settings are needed for a better experience.
- “The game is nice and it is similar to the supermarket simulator that I really liked. It needs an improvement in the graphics and also in the settings to have keys. In my opinion, the game has good potential once the full version is released and the bugs are fixed.”
- “The graphics are simple, which might not appeal to players who prefer more polished visuals.”
- “However, the limited content and basic graphics might leave some players wanting more.”
- “Optimization is horrible, graphics are bad, and there are no settings to change the graphics other than resolution, leaving the game either laggy or looking awful.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and boring, characterized by repetitive tasks such as unloading and stocking goods, as well as cumbersome controls for interacting with the environment. The lack of set tasks or challenges further exacerbates the monotony, making the gameplay feel laborious and unengaging.
- “Where you have to then pick every single box up, carry it to the dumpster and throw it inside (another tedious process as you have to position yourself exactly right).”
- “Your customers come and buy things, which you then scan (to access the cash register you can't just quickly click on it - you have to move yourself there with the WASD controls. If you want to leave the register, you can't just click where you want to go, you have to hit the Q key first and then move yourself out of there. Do I need to mention that it's tedious?).”
- “No set tasks, no challenge, just doing repetitive things using tedious controls.”
