The game's story is criticized for lacking proper level design and a coherent plot, leading to a general disinterest among players. While some users appreciate the potential for future content and the imaginative aspect of playing as a young eagle, the current narrative is deemed insufficient and underdeveloped.
- “Copoka makes for a more interesting game as it has a short story and is a bit easier to fly your bird.”
- “The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, and while some game formats can be amenable to this, they must be truly exceptional, where this is not.”
- “Hardly a success story; gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
- “In another review I've read 'no story' - that might be correct, but it's still in early access; I'm sure there will be additional content added later.”

The gameplay has been criticized for being janky and unsatisfying, with poor handling and responsiveness that detracts from the overall experience. Despite the developer acknowledging flaws in the flight mechanics, there seems to be little effort to address these issues, leading to frustration among players. While there is potential for improvement with minor tweaks and enhancements, the current state of gameplay leaves much to be desired.
- “Given a tweak or two, some cosmetic enhancements to the built world, and a bit more experience on my part so I stop cursing the control mechanics, I think it will displace df in my affections within a few weeks.”
- “VR and non-VR support for either type of gameplay.”
- “It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness, and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed.”
- “Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing.”
- “The developer even goes on to acknowledge a defect in the flight mechanics of the game (the sole purpose of the game, by the way), and then states there's no reason to fix defects in games.”
