The graphics in the game are highly praised for their modern appeal, allowing users to create visually appealing shoot-em-ups without any programming knowledge. The editor provides extensive control over all visual elements, enabling customization of art styles, backgrounds, and models, while the ongoing development of a Dx11 engine promises even better graphical fidelity in the future. Overall, the tools available empower creators to produce unique and polished games quickly and easily.
“Out of the box, you can literally make an old-school shoot-em-up with today's graphics in a few minutes, just like they promise.”
“But going just a bit further with the excellent tools provided, you are able to make your game as unique as you want with your own art style, backgrounds, models, and sounds.”
“No scripting or programming knowledge is required to make a good-looking, fun shoot-em-up with multiple levels, power-ups, enemies, and bosses - and you already have complete control over all of your game's loading screens, graphics, AI behavior, scenery, backgrounds, models, and sprites from the editor's screens.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
“While the tools are excellent, the default graphics leave much to be desired.”
