The game's graphics are described as outdated and lackluster 2D visuals, especially given the widespread adoption of 3D graphics since the mid-1990s. While the simplicity allows for easy gameplay comprehension, many users expected more modern and visually appealing graphics.
- “The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
- “Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games.”
- “Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now.”
