The graphics are praised for their nostalgic old-school arcade style infused with retrofuture elements, creating a unique visual aesthetic. However, some users criticize the platforming controls and screen tearing, suggesting that these issues detract from the overall experience and appear to be poorly implemented features.
“I really love the sound design and visual aesthetic, like old-school arcade but with retrofuture tones.”
“Feels like the platforming controls are straight out of a Unity Asset Store platformer plugin, along with the screen tearing which felt like it was just there because the developer thought it was a cool $15 add-on, as it serves no real purpose besides muddying up the game's aesthetic.”
