    The graphics of the game are criticized for their low quality, relying on retro 2D pixel art that feels outdated for a 2019 release, leading to a lack of visual coherence. While some appreciate the minimalist approach, others find the aesthetic incongruent and lacking in modern appeal.

    • “This game does not have unnecessary graphics and sparkles; very good!”
    • “The visuals are stunning and truly capture the essence of the game's theme.”
    • “The quality is very poor, with 2D retro pixel graphics used instead of contemporary PC visuals, despite the 2019 release.”

    • “The game isn't much more than the classic nerve-beater roots that it takes mechanical inspiration from, spruced up by the aesthetic of another icon for Gen-X computer nostalgia.”
