The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic 2D art assets, which offer little improvement even when resolution settings are adjusted. Reviewers describe the visuals as lackluster and mediocre, comparing them unfavorably to classic games like Pac-Man and Space Invaders, and suggest that the overall visual presentation feels outdated and minimal.
“The graphics are dirt simple, but you knew that going in.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
“While the artwork itself might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”

Players find the game enjoyable during initial playthroughs but express a lack of replayability due to the absence of achievements and a limited map size. Many feel that without these enhancements, they are unlikely to return for additional sessions.
