- “Firstly, I would like to say nice job on the graphics and physics; everything seems normal and looks great for a free-to-play game.”
- “I like the concept, the graphics look good, and it's free.”
- “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are 'borrowed' from asset stores or elsewhere.”
