The graphics have received mixed feedback, with some users expressing disappointment in the character designs, particularly the prevalence of "fat furs," which detracts from their personal connection to the game.

- “The graphics are visually stunning and create an immersive experience.”
- “The character designs are vibrant and full of personality.”
- “Actually, it makes me feel disappointed when I keep watching all the fat furry characters, including my friends and others whose names I saw in the credits. I feel like I'm not one of them, especially regarding my OCs that they don't really care about, and my artwork that I'm creating for myself and them.”
- “It's a bit janky. Some of the requirements for the highest star rank are difficult, especially that sick aesthetic but challenging mall level. There are a lot of retries for the side missions for each level, though that's to be expected. I still enjoyed it, but I can't ignore that it is mainly a furry game.”
