The graphics have been criticized as low-quality pixel art, with some reviewers suggesting a lack of skill or resources from the developer. While the visuals are described as simple yet decent, they do not enhance the overall experience, similar to other games that succeeded despite poor graphics.
“The graphics are simple but decent.”
“This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
“It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
“Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
