The gameplay is largely criticized for being minimal and generic, with many users noting that the game primarily serves as a means to achieve Steam achievements rather than offering engaging gameplay experiences. Technical issues and a lack of focus on gameplay mechanics further detract from the overall experience.
“But the main purpose of this game isn't the gameplay but the 2002 achievements you get after an hour of idling.”
“There have been little to no focus on gameplay and hitboxes.”
“There is no real gameplay besides generic stuff because of technicalities on Steam, and you do not buy a game like this for gameplay; we all know why you buy it.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of low-effort flash or mobile games, lacking options for resolution changes or meaningful tweaks. This results in a visually unimpressive experience that does not meet the expectations of PC gamers.
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
