The graphics of the game are described as mediocre, featuring simplistic low-quality vector art that lacks substantial options for improvement. Despite the ability to change resolution, the visuals remain unimpressive and do not meet the expectations of PC gamers seeking high-quality graphics. Overall, the game's visual presentation is considered a significant drawback.
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low-quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

- “Kind of a slightly better mobile game, just with no annoying ads or in-app purchases.”
- “If Steam allowed ads in games, I bet some of these shovelware developers would try that too.”
