The game's graphics feature a simple yet charming minimalistic art style that creates a soothing atmosphere, complemented by gentle music.

- “Simple but charming design: the minimalistic art style and gentle music complement each other nicely, creating a soothing atmosphere throughout the game.”
- “The music was nice and calm, and the visuals were pretty.”

- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The monetization strategy of these developers is heavily criticized for relying on asset flipping and using pre-made game templates to create low-effort products, which are perceived as cash grabs rather than original content. This practice has led to accusations of unethical behavior, with multiple accounts allegedly linked to the same developers engaging in this "shovelware" approach on platforms like Steam.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into daily indie game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and cash grab.”
- “Big black bear, Imperium Game, Ltzinc, Repa Games, Thinkofgames, Whackakey Games (how many dodgy accounts are these shovelware pushers using? All traceable to the same identifiers, though...) have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked or alternate accounts.”
