The story mode is relatively short, taking less than two hours to complete, and some players feel it is incomplete, awaiting a significant update. While the narrative has potential, technical issues and bugs detract from the overall experience, leading to mixed reviews. The game also offers a sandbox mode, providing additional gameplay options beyond the main story.
“It gives you two modes of play: story mode and sandbox mode.”
“There's a normal story mode and a sandbox mode.”
“Yes, but wait for a huge update. I already finished the story; the story is not complete.”
“It took me less than 2 hours to beat the story mode, and that was with me taking my time and trying to build the best aquariums for each level possible.”
“If you ignore the movement issues and the shrinking bug (or as I call it, the kids play set bug), I'd say it's a pretty good game, might even be great, but it's too unplayable for me to give it a good review.”
