The graphics of the game are described as colorful and cartoonish, which many players find appealing and fitting for its style. However, some users report performance issues, experiencing lag and intensive resource demands despite the seemingly simple graphics. Overall, while the artwork is praised, technical performance remains a concern for some players.
“Graphics are cartoony and very 'cute', which work perfectly for the kind of game this is.”
“I don't want to give a negative review because I like the game idea and the graphics look nice and sharp.”
“The graphics are on the cartoonish side, colorful and bright.”
“Graphics like this are so offensive and harsh on the eyes as to make me physically ill from a potent combination of fury and anger.”
“Performance was a bit of a letdown as it was pretty intensive considering the 'simple' graphics. I did set the graphics settings to epic though.”

Overall, players feel that the game's optimization could be improved, particularly given its relatively simple graphics. While some experienced performance issues, especially at higher settings, many found that it did not significantly detract from their enjoyment. Additionally, there are calls for better controller configuration alongside optimization enhancements.
“Performance was a bit of a letdown as it was pretty intensive considering the 'simple' graphics. I did set the graphics settings to epic though.”
“I think the game can be better optimized, but it ran well enough on my rig that it didn't interfere with my fun.”
“They really just need to fix controller configuration and maybe optimization and, of course, content.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for being virtually nonexistent, as players find it short and lacking in narrative content. Currently, it offers only a few mini-games and modes, with a missions mode that is yet to be released, leaving players with limited engagement beyond basic gameplay mechanics.
“The bad thing is it's a short game with no storyline or content yet. You just play for a few minutes and the battle is over in ship sailing mode. There is a tower guarding mode, which I didn't try much, but it might have an endless mode. It acts like wave attacks to survive, similar to other tower defense games.”
“The missions mode says 'coming soon', so that leaves only 4 mini games.”
