  • graphics3 mentions

    The graphics of the game are consistently praised as amazing, with users highlighting their high quality and smooth performance even at lower frame rates.

    • “It has amazing graphics, great controls, and many other very amazing features!”
    • “This game is dope; the graphics are amazing, and you can even change the FPS. I usually set it to 30 FPS because it doesn't drain the battery life as much, and even with 30 FPS, it doesn't lag at all. I'm surprised a game with such good graphics doesn't crash or lag ever!”
