The graphics are praised for their simplistic and cute low-poly art style, creating a visually appealing world that encourages exploration. However, some users noted that the lack of a proper tutorial detracted from the overall experience, as they preferred visual learning to understand the controls better.
“The graphics are nice, simplistic, and cute.”
“The world is pretty, featuring a nice low-poly art style. There is quite a bit to explore that I have not yet discovered, and it's set up nicely for trying to do stunts through small openings.”
