The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some praising the smooth, vibrant, and stunning isometric 3D visuals, while others criticize the mobile version for its minimalist, low-polygon, and untextured assets that feel outdated and underdeveloped.

- “The game is a ripoff of the 1990's flash game, Sokoban, but they put a price tag on it because they changed it to a locked resolution low poly garbage mobile app.”
