The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their poor quality, described as "ms paint graphics" and reminiscent of outdated retro pixel art. Players noted the lack of customization options and resolution settings, which further detracts from the visual experience. While some appreciate the retro aesthetic, many find the graphics painful and a significant drawback to the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “As much as I like indie games, this one just didn't really keep my interest long enough to play through it all. It does have some good ideas; jetpacks are always fun even if they're a bit sluggish. Pixel art can look really good, especially if you're going for a retro aesthetic like this game is.”
- “Graphics, music, and sound effects are very simple.”
- “Graphics are kinda painful, but what did you expect? It's 2007, right?”
