The game's graphics rely on outdated retro pixel art, which fails to impress and offers minimal resolution options that merely upscale the simplistic visuals without enhancing quality. Overall, players find the 2D graphics lackluster and lacking in substantial improvements.
“A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”

The monetization strategy of these games is heavily criticized for relying on asset flipping and using pre-made templates, leading to accusations of unethical practices and cash grabs. Reviewers describe the games as low-quality shovelware that exploit existing assets rather than offering original content, raising concerns about the integrity of the developers.
“These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and tutorials, fill out a few things, and stamp out basic levels using construction kit templates. They slap on asset-flipped sprites 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 and a cash grab.”
“Volens Nolens games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, either through this account or closely linked/alternate accounts.”
