72 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's graphics feature a distinctive pixel art style that some players find charming and detailed, while others criticize it as outdated and poorly executed, especially given its 2016 release. While the visuals and accompanying audio are praised for their quality, the retro aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, with some reviewers noting that the blocky graphics can hinder gameplay clarity. Overall, opinions are divided, with some appreciating the artistic direction and others feeling it detracts from the overall experience.
“The pixelated art style is oozing with charisma: from the character animations to the backgrounds, everything is rich in details.”
“Incredibly polished speed typing/memory game with beautiful pixel graphics that almost seem wasted on something like this.”
“Music, retro graphics, narrator's voice are all perfect and gameplay is intuitive and challenging.”
“Ugly retro pixel graphics (the game was released in 2016, there's no excuse for pixel graphics, hire an artist if you have no talent yourself) accompany next-to-no meaningful gameplay.”
“Graphics are Commodore 64 era graphics, controls don't even see your mouse, and gameplay is the same of who can hit random keys before the other person.”
“The blocky, very pixelated art style, font used, and the fact that words are displayed vertically combined to ruin the gameplay for me.”
