The graphics of the game have received mixed feedback, with some users expressing a desire for more polished visuals akin to those in "Cloudpunk." Despite its basic indie graphics, many still find the game enjoyable, though initial impressions of the visuals were not universally positive. Overall, while the graphics may not be a standout feature, they do not detract significantly from the gameplay experience.
“When I first saw an early video of this, I liked the idea, but the visuals didn't click with me.”
“If this game had the graphics and flight-sim of Cloudpunk, it would be the perfect space-taxi game.”
“In the meantime, this is a better game, even with its basic indie graphics!”
