The game's graphics are characterized by simplistic 2D art assets that lack depth and detail, reminiscent of low-effort flash games. While the art style has some whimsical charm, the overall visual quality is considered lackluster, with limited options for improvement, leaving players wanting more from a PC game.
“Art style is pretty good, although I'd love to see more terrified faces on the humans as they go into the blender that is the mothership. The mothership is nice too, clear and concise when upgrading the craft.”
“Graphics are whimsical, simple, and enjoyable.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games.”

The story attempts to convey a message about perseverance and resilience amidst challenges, though it is overshadowed by gameplay frustrations. Players note that while there are some upgrades to enhance the experience, the overall narrative feels disjointed and lacks coherence.
“The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Some effort went into trying to tie bells and whistles to this dumpster fire, so you can upgrade a few things to make subsequent missions less annoying.”
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
