The game's graphics are characterized by low-quality, low-poly, neon, and minimalist 3D visuals, which may be off-putting to many players. This simplistic visual style is seen as a drawback, as it does not meet the higher standards expected in a visually driven medium.

- “Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers.”

The story is notably minimal or lacking, with the developer relying on multiplayer interaction rather than narrative or level design to engage players.
- “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design etc to the game.”
