The graphics in the game are polarizing; while some users praise the colorful visuals that match the store screenshots, others criticize the lack of cohesion, janky animations, and the use of low-quality, unrelated assets, likening the overall aesthetic to that of a free mobile game.
- “[*][b]Colourful graphics[/b] | Just like the screenshots on the store page, this game looks wonderful when you play it.”
- “+ Nice graphics”
- “There's also a lack of any real graphic cohesion as all levels have the same enemy models and often all appear at once.”
- “It's a cobbled together mess of tacky unrelated assets with absolutely no rhyme or reason. There's almost no feedback whatsoever to the player, the animations are janky, the artwork is rubbish. With the look of some of the enemies, I strongly suspect the creator just found a random assortment of cheap/free premade/demo assets and thought 'yeah, they'll do.' The whole thing feels like a free mobile phone game... and by 'the whole thing,' I mean all 5 minutes of content.”
- “The graphics lack coherence and variety, making the game feel repetitive and uninspired.”
