Graphics

Now let's talk visuals-this game is like a well-worn jersey, showing its age but still ready to take on the world. The sprites are classic 90s style, and while they won't win any awards for realism, they ooze with charm. The animations are fluid enough to keep the action lively, albeit they can sometimes feel reminiscent of an old VHS tape-just a little grainy and nostalgic.
