The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style with low-polygon, untextured assets reminiscent of early 1990s 3D games, which some players criticize as a lack of effort disguised as artistic choice. While the visuals may not meet modern standards, the developers have managed to implement 3D graphics effectively, offering clean visuals and a variety of options that set it apart from similar titles. Overall, the graphics evoke mixed feelings, with some appreciating the retro aesthetic while others find it lacking.
- “Innoquous has clean visuals and many options available you won't find in similar games.”
- “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
- “While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics.”
- “Having said that, I think at least some credit is due for the developers working out how to do 3D graphics with the craptastic GameMaker Studio; the vast majority of amateur developers pushing GameMaker Studio garbage on Steam don't know how to do it, it's just too hard for them.”
