The game's graphics are criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of low-effort flash or mobile games, which fails to meet the visual standards expected from a PC title. This lack of effort in the graphical design detracts from the overall quality and appeal for PC gamers.
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high-quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized due to a surge of suspicious reviews, likely from fake accounts created to promote the game, which is perceived as an asset flip or cash grab. These reviews appeared simultaneously after the game's Steam launch, raising concerns about the authenticity of user feedback and the game's overall value.
“All the reviews are written in Russian, appear almost simultaneously right after the game launched on Steam, and all have a direct purchase of the game. The accounts are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with numerous microtransactions that detract from the overall experience.”
“It's frustrating to see a game that could be great being overshadowed by aggressive monetization tactics that prioritize profit over player enjoyment.”
