I've noticed in computer graphics and games that there are some simple things you can do that go a long way towards making the game "cool", things like particles for example.

I never thought something like this could actually save a dying project, I'll keep that in mind!

People normally call that making it "juicy". There's this awesome presentation on YouTube showing how a boring game can look awesome with some "juiciness", even if the core gameplay is unchanged:
