The graphics in Wirenet are widely criticized for their poor quality and lack of effort, described as some of the worst in recent memory. Reviewers note that the artwork appears lazy and inauthentic, failing to effectively convey the game's mechanics or aesthetic, and lacking any meaningful customization options. Overall, the visual presentation detracts significantly from the gameplay experience.
“Yeah, turns out graphics can help players see what's going on when they're done right... and, in games like Wirenet, just make things worse when done badly.”
“Of course the 'developer' was aiming at a monochrome display adapter look... except of course this doesn't resemble that or follow any of the actual graphical limitations of that platform properly... it looks inauthentic, if that's what the 'developer' was trying to accomplish... another fail.”
“Wirenet is like any bullet hell game, but in a 2D world consisting of green visuals over a black background.”
“The graphics here are some of the worst, laziest attempts at video game 'art' I've ever seen.”
“It's clear the developer didn't even try to produce any real graphics for the game and just phoned it in.”

The monetization of Wirenet is criticized for its low production quality and perceived as a cash grab, akin to poorly made games often found on platforms like Steam. Reviewers highlight the game's lack of effort in design and gameplay, suggesting it prioritizes profit over player experience.
“Wirenet is a poorly made GameMaker Studio-based arcade shoot 'em up with deplorably bad, lazy artwork, imbalanced and unenjoyable gameplay, and some of the lowest production quality I've seen for a long time, including the 'joke' games that routinely get dumped on Steam as lazy cash grabs.”
“GameMaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
