The graphics of the game are criticized for lacking resolution options and meaningful tweaks, leading to a subpar visual experience that does not meet the expectations of PC gamers. Additionally, there are concerns about potential graphical glitches affecting gameplay, further diminishing the overall quality.
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
“I went through probably 10 or 11 levels and then I can't tell if, as the other review notes, the next button stops working because the game is over or if there is a graphical glitch because the assets are so poorly aligned that the square can't get to the end of level target.”

The game's optimization is lacking, with issues such as menu buttons being partially obscured and an overwhelming number of achievements that require minimal effort to unlock.
“This game is not even optimized in the menu, where you can't fully see buttons like 'Start' and others. Additionally, every second new achievement pops up, making it feel like you don't have to do anything.”
“The optimization is severely lacking, leading to frustrating navigation and a cluttered interface.”
“Performance issues are rampant, making the game feel sluggish and unresponsive, which detracts from the overall experience.”
