The graphics in the game are widely criticized for their poor quality, described as "godawful pixelcrap" with no options for resolution or meaningful tweaks. Reviewers suggest that the lack of skill or resources from the developer is evident, and while some games have succeeded with similar aesthetics, this title does not benefit from its graphics.
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
- “This features really godawful pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
