The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty, aesthetic appeal, and smooth framerates, which stand out in the genre. However, despite the impressive visuals, many players feel that the overall experience is marred by poor level design and a lackluster story, suggesting that the graphics may not be enough to compensate for other shortcomings.
“I'm only giving a thumbs up to reward the developer for the effort made in making good graphics and smooth framerates (no Unity lag) for the game, something that is extremely rare in obscure metroidvanias like this.”
“The game is a 2D platformer with very beautiful graphics and a good story.”
“Very beautiful graphics.”
“It's a pity because it has all the visuals, the aesthetic, and the right effects, yet everything else is an awful experience, possibly intended to replace a bigger map or more diverse challenges with simple walls of frustration.”
