The game's graphics are described as minimalist 2D, which some players find appealing and superior to traditional pixel art, while others feel they may not satisfy serious PC gamers. Users appreciate the ability to change resolution, although it primarily scales the existing vector graphics. Overall, the graphics receive mixed reviews, with some praising their charm and others critiquing their simplicity.
- “This game is great; the music and maps are good, and the graphics are good overall. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.”
- “The minimalist 2D graphics aren't going to appeal to serious PC gamers, but they are a million times better than 2D pixel art.”
- “Super adorable graphics.”
- “Surprisingly, you can change the resolution, but with 2D graphics, this just scales up the vector graphics.”
- “The minimalist 2D graphics aren't going to appeal to serious PC gamers, but they are a million times better than 2D pixel 'art', the crutch for failed developers who can't do their own art. They just use pixel art because it's all they can do, in the hopes people will mistake incompetence for an appeal to nostalgia. I'm not sure how that makes obsolete graphics more acceptable to PC gamers.”
- “Graphics: 6”
