The graphics of the game are characterized by a charming art style that complements the design of items and cursors, despite its 2D nature. However, some users note that the game is surprisingly demanding on hardware, with one reviewer mentioning it runs at 60 fps on a modest laptop.
- “The charming art style pairs well with the designs of the items and cursors.”
- “The art style is nice.”
- “My laptop is nothing crazy, but it can run Titanfall 2 at 60 fps. I'd say this little game with 2D graphics has no business being this heavy.”
