The game's graphics feature a simple and consistent art style that some players appreciate, though it may initially seem cartoonish. While the visuals are generally well-received, issues with the camera controls detract from the experience, especially in early access. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, complemented by enjoyable physics, but improvements in camera functionality and truck customization are desired.
“Do not let the cartoon-like graphics put you off... this game is very challenging and I have gotten into many sticky situations so far.”
“Love the simple graphics and real-world mechanics, highly recommended!”
“I love the game and its artwork; the physics of the game and artwork are great. It's a fantastic game for $9!”

“I love the game and its artwork, but the camera is a pain at times. I know it's early access, but I wish there was a way to lock the camera in follow mode or use the mouse to move it. Other than that, I haven't found a bug yet and love the physics of the game. It's a great game for $9, but man, the camera is a pain.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its fantastic controls and engaging mechanics, with a unique offering in the current market. However, some players have noted a significant difficulty spike between the early levels, which may impact the experience for some. Despite this, the simple graphics and real-world mechanics contribute positively to the overall enjoyment.
“The art, gameplay, and controls are all fantastic!”
“Love the simple graphics and real-world mechanics, highly recommended!”
“Review may be updated in the future, but right now I'm kind of between whether I would recommend it. As of now, the price is good and the content is there, and there aren't many other games offering the same kind of gameplay.”
“My biggest gripe gameplay-wise is the immense difficulty spike between level 1 and 2.”
