The graphics in the game have been widely criticized for their poor quality, featuring a mix of outdated pixel art and amateurish MS Paint-style drawings. Reviewers note a lack of resolution options and graphics customization, leading to an overall unsatisfactory visual experience that detracts from the game's appeal.
“The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel 'art' used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint style drawings I've ever hurt my eyes on.”
“It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can do graphics properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

The gameplay is criticized for its lack of engaging mechanics and repetitive actions, leading to boredom even when played with friends. Players find certain powers, like "wormholes" and "paintbuckets," ineffective or frustrating, while the manual round selection process is cumbersome. Additionally, movement feels unsatisfactory, and bugs can disrupt the experience, making it less enjoyable than traditional snake games.
“This is a game to play with friends, but even with them they will get bored very easily, since you don't really have much to do or many mechanics. The 'wormholes' power becomes useless, as it may teleport you stuck to a wall and die instantly. Additionally, you have to select the rounds manually by raising the arrow instead of writing a number, which means if you want many rounds, you will have to spam the click. The 'paintbuckets' power is literally useless and dyes your snake for almost 5 seconds, making it one of the worst powers along with 'wormholes'. The only power that really works, if not close to a wall, is the 'speedpills'. Finally, there is a bug where the snake sometimes leaves no trace, which can affect your ability to confine or ambush your friends.”
“The gameplay is worse than regular snake games as the movement feels bad.”
