The graphics are characterized by simplistic vector art, featuring bright foreground objects against neutral backgrounds, which results in a mediocre visual experience. Despite options to change resolution, these adjustments merely scale the existing art without enhancing quality, leaving little room for improvement in the overall graphics. This lack of depth and detail is disappointing for a PC game, where players typically expect higher visual standards.
- “The graphics are simple: in the foreground, the objects you can interact with have a single, bright color, while the other platforms and objects feature 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 create the game, which makes little to no difference in 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 accustomed to.”
- “The graphics are simple: in the foreground, the objects you can use have only one bright color, while the other platforms and objects have a neutral color.”
