The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style, featuring low-polygon, untextured assets that evoke early 1990s 3D games. Many players feel this approach reflects a lack of effort from the developers, detracting from the overall experience, with some rating the graphics as low as 1 out of 10. While some appreciate the sound and graphical design, the consensus leans towards disappointment in the visual quality.
“I love the sound and graphical design.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
“The graphics could be more crisp.”
“From 0 to 10, graphics and sound may score a 1.”
