The graphics have been criticized for being so poor that they can cause confusion and frustration, with one user reporting a frustrating experience of becoming trapped in the environment due to unclear visuals. Overall, the graphics are deemed inadequate, leading to a negative impression of the game.
“Graphics give you a headache.”
“I had to quit and restart another game because I fell in a river and couldn't get out. There was no ramp or anything; I was just trapped and couldn't die on my own. I didn't even see it was a river—that's how bad the graphics are. I'm not usually the type to leave a review, but this game sucks so much. Don't even bother trying it; you will ask for a refund after 15 minutes.”
