The game's story is minimal and revolves around a simplistic conflict between an evil marshmallow and a good marshmallow, driven by a "staff of power."

- “Storyline revolves around... evil marshmallow wanting to kill good marshmallow... because... staff of power?”
- “Pretty much no story, decent graphics/animations and music.”
