The game's graphics are marred by a non-standard screen resizing method that can severely misconfigure desktop resolutions, leading to significant troubleshooting and potential driver issues. Additionally, the overall visual quality is perceived as overly simplistic, contributing to a frustrating user experience.
“The game features overly simplistic puzzles, has poor language localization, has annoying music that cannot be disabled without also disabling all game sounds, and utilizes some kind of non-standard screen resizing method that so badly misconfigured my desktop resolution that I had to do a complete reinstall of all graphics drivers.”
