The graphics are characterized by a colorful and appealing world, enhanced by simple yet effective 3D textures and details. Players appreciate the ability to explore vertically, with intriguing stages above them that add to the overall visual experience.
“It's also cool to be able to look up and see the stages above you. The world looks colorful, and the 3D graphics are simple in terms of texture and detail, but perfectly fine. The world is appealing and interesting enough to want to see what it brings you.”
“The graphics are quite dated, lacking the detail and polish expected from modern games.”
“The character models are poorly designed and look flat, which detracts from the overall experience.”
“The environments feel lifeless and lack the vibrant detail that would make exploration enjoyable.”
