  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and exploitation of artists' work, leading to perceptions of it being a cash grab. Reviewers describe it as a minimum viable product that reflects a pattern of the developers profiting from others' creations without proper credit.

    • “This is a minimum viable product cash grab.”
    • “Quarlellle have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
    • “The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism as well as a cash grab.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are criticized for their low-polygon, untextured aesthetic, resembling early 1990s 3D titles, and lack of resolution options or meaningful graphical tweaks. Many users perceive this minimalist approach as a sign of developer laziness rather than a deliberate artistic choice, detracting from the overall gaming experience.

    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
