The graphics are characterized by simplistic 2D visuals, featuring bright, single-color objects against neutral backgrounds, which many players find underwhelming. Despite options to adjust resolution, these merely upscale the basic vector art without enhancing quality, leading to a perception of mediocrity that does not meet the expectations of PC gamers. Overall, the lack of substantial graphical improvements contributes to a visually unimpressive experience.
- “The graphics are simple: in the foreground, the objects you can use have a single, bright color, while the other platforms and objects have a neutral color.”
- “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 graphics are simple: in the foreground, the objects you can use have only one single, bright color, while the other platforms and objects have a neutral color.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic vector art used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “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.”
