The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting low-quality visuals and lazy low-poly assets, while others appreciate the nice 3D graphics and unique aesthetic. Despite the ability to change resolution and customize controls, there are limited options for improving the overall graphical quality. Overall, the visuals may not appeal to everyone, but they contribute to the game's fun atmosphere.
“Nice 3D graphics.”

“Surprisingly, you can change the game resolution and even customize controls, but there's no other graphics tweaks or means to improve the very low quality graphics and lazy low poly game assets.”
“Surprisingly, that's all I can find in terms of technical defects on this game, but then again, it's entirely possible to spend millions on developing a game with bleeding edge graphics and still come out with a dud.”
“Set to a rather twee aesthetic that isn’t going to be for everyone, the game is quite fun although has a few shortcomings with level diversity and the lack of any top scores.”
