The graphics in the game have been widely criticized for their low resolution and poor quality, with users reporting issues such as blocky visuals and a lack of clarity. Many players express frustration over the graphics settings being stuck on a low-quality mode, leading to a subpar visual experience that detracts from gameplay. Overall, the consensus is that the graphics are not up to standard and require significant improvement.
“If it was brighter and higher quality graphics (very blocky low res), I might understand better.”
“I'm confident I'm not seeing this as intended and will figure out how to communicate to support ASAP or hope the dev will respond here and let me know if this is the correct current state of the graphics or where to communicate to fix.”
“The quality of the graphics aren't that good to be honest.”
“However, my graphic setting seems to be stuck on 'fastest' and it's very noticeable low quality even though I have a superclocked Titan X.”
“The black graphics that are used look like black goo or loading problems until I zoom in very close to the fractals.”

Reviewers suggest that the music in the game has the potential to create a relaxing atmosphere, particularly with classical music, making it suitable for unwinding in the evening. However, they feel that it could benefit from further development to enhance the overall experience.
“I would imagine that with a little bit more work from the dev, this could be somewhat nice to watch in the late evening before bed while laying on the couch listening to some classical music.”
