    Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with users noting that while it runs smoothly at 60fps and features unique visuals, there is a significant demand for improvements in detail, particularly for plant and building textures. Many players express a desire for enhanced graphics to elevate the overall experience, especially for specific elements like weed buds.

    • “Love it! The dev keeps up with it and lets us know if he did or didn't address things, as well as adding new content all the time. One thing I would like to see is the plant graphics improved; I'm not a programmer, so I'm not sure if you can even do that, but I still love it nonetheless.”

    • “Graphics: 4/10”

    • “Add a radio with different soundtracks.”
