The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the lack of resolution options and customization, leading to a perception of low-quality visuals typical of mobile apps. While the simple, cartoony 2D graphics and colorful environments have their charm and character, they are often described as bland and lacking the depth expected from a PC game. Overall, the visuals may appeal to some, but they fall short of delivering a high-quality experience for discerning gamers.
“The graphics seem fine most of the time; I like the characters, which have a lot of personality.”
“Visuals look good too with the cartoony and colorful environments of the stages and abundant kinds of enemies.”
“The package holds together well despite some blandness to the visuals, and there's certainly plenty to do if it gets its (fish) hooks into you.”
“There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort mobile apps.”
“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.”

A full-featured multiplayer effort, Swimsanity! excels in its frantic competitive gameplay, with a co-op experience that we found critically lacking in enjoyment. Skip the adventure mode and dive straight into Orb Rush with three friends for a good, fun time. The package holds together well despite some blandness to the visuals, and there's certainly plenty to do if it gets its (fish) hooks into you. Swimsanity! holds up well in a crowded market and we truly hope to see it succeed.
70%Swimsanity! (Nintendo Switch)
Swimsanity! offers a fun blast of online or local versus play. Its game modes aren’t terribly original, but they work well in the underwater setting. Unfortunately, the fun doesn’t carry over to the game’s adventure mode or the single-player options.
