The game's graphics are characterized by simple, minimalistic 2D visuals reminiscent of low-effort mobile apps and flash games, lacking options for resolution changes or meaningful graphical tweaks. While the gameplay may be enjoyable, the overall visual presentation falls short of the high standards typically expected from PC games, reflecting a lack of budget and skill in 3D graphics development.

“It's fun, challenging, but not as graphically pleasing; I'm not going to complain for the price it asks for.”

The monetization of Ultimate Solid is criticized as a greedy cash grab, priced at around $6 USD, which many users feel is unjustifiable due to the game's defects and the availability of superior free alternatives on Steam.
“Ultimate Solid has a greedy, cash grab price of around $6 USD. It's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings of the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it seems like the developers are more focused on making money than providing a quality gaming experience.”
“I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
