The graphics of the game are widely criticized for being dated and low quality, with some users noting that they resemble those of much cheaper titles. While there are a good number of graphics options available to accommodate various PC configurations, the overall visual presentation is considered subpar and lacking polish.
“Good amount of graphics options to scale to a variety of different PC configurations.”
“Graphically, it is very dated and low quality. This could be overlooked if it was polished in other areas, but sadly at this time, no.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly criticizing the lengthy crafting times for larger items, such as the 30 seconds required to build a bed. Many suggest that reducing these times would enhance the overall experience, as the current wait can disrupt gameplay flow.
“But the larger items take way too long to craft, and that 30 seconds I'm stuck hiding while building a bed to set my spawn point is kind of tedious. I feel that cutting that to about 12 or 14 seconds would be better.”
“The worst part of it all is not the NPCs and farming for materials, but having to continually grind for resources.”

Overall, users report minimal glitches in the game, primarily noting issues with hitboxes, which are somewhat expected given that it was developed by a single individual. However, some players feel that the graphical quality does not meet the standards of even lower-priced games.
“As for the graphics, I've seen better on a $10 game with less glitches.”
“I haven't really run into any glitches besides the janky hitboxes, but again that's understandable as it's one person making this game.”
