Despite these criticisms, some players appreciate the vision and effort from the small development team.
- “Still a decent game though from a small team, the vision is there and the graphics are well done.”
- “The game features really lackluster hand-drawn 2D visuals. I know that's the point, but does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?”

- “Even mobile phones can do 3D graphics now.”
