The graphics of the game are a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the charming low-poly art style and satisfying sound design, others find the visuals to be of low quality, which may deter more discerning gamers. Overall, the aesthetics are described as delightful and fitting for a casual gaming experience, despite the technical limitations.
- “Loved the visuals and the sounds were very satisfying.”
- “Charming aesthetics, mixed with the classic pusher formula, and the joyful sounds of coins being collected.”
- “Even after collecting everything, the noises are satisfying, the art style is delightful, and it's just a nice chill title to enjoy between games, or while on a call, or just casually.”
- “In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”
- “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 gameplay has been criticized for lacking meaningful interaction, with players primarily engaging in a repetitive action of holding down the space bar for extended periods. While some users acknowledge the game's ability to provide a dopamine rush, they express a desire for more substantial gameplay elements to enhance the experience.
- “The gameplay is fake, but the dopamine is very real.”
- “Dear dev, I'll grant you that this is technically a game, just with no gameplay elements besides holding down the space bar for an hour.”
- “Just... maybe introduce some actual gameplay elements in your fish tank aquarium?”
