The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the pixel art as "godawful" and lazy, while others appreciate the beautiful artwork and the love put into its design. Despite the lack of traditional 3D visuals, the game's artistic elements have been praised, suggesting that the graphics may not detract from the overall experience for some players.
“The music is beautiful and the artwork is beautiful.”
“I kept playing for the artwork though!”
“Beautiful artworks in a fun little game; you can tell lots of love went into making this.”
“This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
“It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
“Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
