The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as exploitative, with reviewers labeling it as a cash grab that relies on copying existing game templates and assets rather than original content. This approach has led to accusations of the game being low-quality shovelware, aimed primarily at profiting from unsuspecting consumers.
- “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 cheap, nasty shovelware 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 or cash grab.”

The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style with untextured low-polygon assets, reminiscent of early 1990s 3D games. This approach is perceived as a lack of effort from the developers, who attempt to frame the simplistic visuals as an artistic choice rather than a shortcoming. Overall, many players feel that this aesthetic detracts from the gaming experience.
- “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
- “The graphics are so outdated that it feels like I'm playing a game from a decade ago. It's disappointing to see such a lack of effort in visual design.”
- “The character models look flat and lifeless, making it hard to connect with the game world. It feels like the developers didn't prioritize graphics at all.”
