The graphics are praised for their unique and high-quality hand-drawn art style, showcasing impressive craftsmanship for a solo developer. While there are minor improvements suggested, such as resizing options, the overall visual presentation is considered fantastic and a strong point of the software.
“Excellent little piece of software to help create high quality characters with a unique and very cool art style.”
“Aside from this, the software itself is fantastic; the artwork is beautifully hand drawn in the best quality you could hope for.”
“While it has a few minor things that could be better, like the ability to resize all the items, it is a great start to a helpful fun graphics tool.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack the polish you'd expect from a modern game.”

The game experiences notable faults and glitches, but the developer is actively addressing these issues through a support thread for bug reports. While some users have found workarounds, the overall stability remains a concern due to weird artifact glitches and inadequate layering options.
“It is not without its faults and glitches. I get around these by manually editing them, but there is an ongoing support thread for bug reports, which seems to have the developer actively involved. Hopefully, by the time you've read this review, repairs are done and everything works as well as it can!”
“Weird artifact glitches combined with poor layering options.”
