The graphics in the game have been universally criticized as subpar, with many reviewers likening them to outdated visuals from the Commodore 64 or NES era. Players have noted a lack of distinction between the game's graphic settings, with options humorously labeled "heaven on earth" and "literally garbage," both failing to deliver quality visuals. Overall, the aesthetic is described as drab, with poor animations and frequent technical issues further detracting from the experience.
“Being made in Unity, this buggy mess has two amusing graphic options: 'Heaven on Earth' and 'Literally Garbage.' The latter fits the game perfectly, as there's barely any distinction between them; the graphics look like they've been taken from a Commodore 64 game.”
“The aesthetics are as drab as the screenshots make them out to be.”
“The graphics are bad even by indie pixel standards; animations are practically nonexistent. The NES had better visuals than this.”
