The game's story is generally considered minimal and lacks depth, with repetitive mission objectives that often boil down to simple tasks like crossing the map. While some players appreciate the effort put into the narrative and find enjoyment in the gameplay, many feel that the storyline is underdeveloped and does not significantly enhance the overall experience.
“I enjoyed this small game a lot: it has a good story, cute graphics, and a great developer who puts a lot of effort into his games!”
“Just from playing the game, you can tell the devs took their time working on the game along with the story and interface.”
“An amazing game with an easy storyline; moving and shooting feel amazing, and even the driving segments work as well.”
“The game is super repetitive and same-y, with not much variation and story.”
“There isn’t too much of a story to the game, though each level has their own objective that offers some bit of a story if you’re interested.”
“Mission objectives consist mainly of 'cross the map' and most levels are easily done in less than 60 seconds.”

“Awesome soundtrack.”
“The levels are unique and fun, with cool music to get you pumped.”

“Forgettable art, and even more forgettable music that you'll probably just turn off after the first five minutes.”
“The music is also decent though not too memorable.”
“It's some basic rough sounding combat music, so the tunes do fit the stages while you run around shooting baddies.”
