The graphics are criticized as poor-quality, lazy 2D retro art that lacks the depth of modern visuals, leading to a perception that the developer either lacked the skill or resources for better graphics. While some players find the graphics functional, they generally agree that they detract from the overall experience, similar to other games that succeeded despite their visual shortcomings.
- “This feature is really godawful, lazy 2D retro '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.”
