“The whole thing was actually kinda charming if you don't mind some crude 3D graphics. It does not make the best first impression, but if you give it a chance, it's self-aware enough to make the experience enjoyable. There are a few really funny endings which I think salvaged this purchase.”

The graphics are described as crude 3D, which may not make a strong first impression, but the game's self-awareness and charm can enhance the overall experience. While the aesthetics are lacking, the exploration is enjoyable, suggesting that more effort in world-building and level design could significantly improve the game's visual appeal. Overall, the graphics may not be a highlight, but they do not detract from the fun gameplay.

“Considering that the game does not have much going for it in terms of aesthetics, I think you did a decent job making the exploration fun. However, perhaps you should put more effort into the design of the world. I don't care about graphics; I just want to see more character in that 'world-building' and level design.”

Players expressed disappointment with the gameplay, particularly noting that the ability to roll into a ball felt underutilized and only relevant in a specific area, limiting its overall impact on the game experience.
“I was a bit disappointed that rolling into a ball didn't have much practical use outside of that one location.”
