The graphics have been criticized as poorly executed pixel art, lacking the quality and detail expected in modern games. Reviewers suggest that the subpar visuals detract from the overall experience, although some acknowledge that similar games have succeeded despite their graphics.
- “This feature has really godawful, lazy pixel art instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

The gameplay has been criticized for being significantly worse than expected, lacking meaningful levels and narrative progression, and the mild sports theme feels out of place, leading to its poor reception on platforms like Steam.
- “The only difference here, apart from significantly worse gameplay and progression, is a mild sports theme that doesn't fit at all. It's no wonder this was widely avoided by everyone on Steam.”
- “The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”
