However, certain users appreciate the charming and visually pleasing style, complimenting the overall aesthetic alongside the music.
- “Very pretty from graphics to music, lovely game all around.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
