The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the amateurish artwork and low visual quality, which detracts from the overall experience. Conversely, others appreciate the minimalist style and depth of field visuals, finding them charming and effective in creating engaging environments. Overall, while some players enjoy the simplicity and artistic choices, many feel that the graphics could benefit from improvement and more customization options.
- “Its minimalist graphics had me awestruck with many incandescent objects alternating near or far from the lens that just fit all snug in the charming world.”
- “Swp’s a sweet deal with wondrous depth of field visuals.”
- “You get to play through exciting environments with varying difficulties accompanied by an albeit simple art style enhanced by clever foreground and background design.”
- “The artwork here is terrible; it's a hodgepodge of amateurish 'my first Wacom tablet' style drawings used instead of professional-looking game assets.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can create graphical assets properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers.”
