Overall, the story serves its purpose but lacks originality and complexity.
“The game features a compelling story of a plane crashing on an island. While many games have a similar premise, the survival aspect takes you on a journey where you must decide whether to conserve your strength or gather resources, and whether to confront or evade the locals.”
“The comic book panel style presentation of the story adds a unique flair, enhancing the overall experience without detracting from the gameplay.”
“The game has a basic story that unfolds through comic book style panels between levels, providing a creative way to engage players.”

The game's graphics are praised for their vibrant palettes and engaging visual style, with a mix of blocky designs that some players find charming. While certain levels, like the Norse-themed one, are well-executed, others suffer from a haphazard combination of themes that can detract from the overall experience.

“The visuals are definitely great, with a lot of good palettes and contrast in the worlds.”

“The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
“The character models are poorly designed and look like they belong in a last-gen title.”
“The environments are bland and uninspired, making the game visually unappealing.”
