The graphics are praised for their minimalistic pixel art style, which avoids clutter and allows for clear gameplay amidst the action. The visual design is complemented by retro synth music and interesting enemy designs, creating an engaging aesthetic without overwhelming the player.
“I've played a lot of flash and Steam top-down shooters, and while all of the giant, constant explosions and flashing colors can be entertaining, the graphics here avoid cluttering the screen with a lot of garbage. I like some visual flair, sure, but I like being able to see what I'm doing too.”
