The game's story is currently minimal, with players noting a lack of a developed narrative or quest line, primarily featuring basic mechanics and descriptions. While some see potential for improvement, many express disappointment in the absence of a compelling story.
“Of course it still needs some polishing, but which game doesn't? I am still missing a bit of story and where to spend my thousand coins, but I see the potential.”
“Currently, there is no story in the game besides normal and legendary signs telling you about the mechanics, the game in general, and a big rock.”
“If you're expecting a fully fleshed-out game with a story and/or quest line, look away.”

Players appreciate the game's skill system and character design but feel that the overall gameplay could benefit from improvements, such as a camera rotation feature for better navigation in tight spaces and a faster pace with less waiting for animations. Additionally, the lack of a compelling story detracts from the experience, suggesting that more content could enhance the gameplay significantly.
“The skill system is fantastic, but the gameplay as a whole could use improvement.”
“Nice game with cute characters and good gameplay.”
“The game needs a feature for rotating the camera to improve gameplay in small alleys (e.g., when there is a row of trees between which the player has to fight).”
“If the gameplay were more fast-paced with less waiting for animations and filled with more content, I would definitely raise the grade to 'good' if not 'very good'.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with a playful tune that complements the world effectively. However, some players feel that the music should adapt more dynamically to significant changes in the environment, such as transitioning from a monster-filled forest to a safe village. Overall, the soundtrack is appreciated, especially as it evolves to match darker areas later in the game.
“However, later in the game, you will reach more 'dark' places where the music changes accordingly.”
“Love the soundtrack <3”
“On some occasions, like when your dino enters the first village, it felt like the music should change to suit the transition from a forest filled with monsters to a safe zone.”
“However, later in the game you will reach more 'dark' places where the music changes accordingly.”
“In general, I am not the best in terms of music; nevertheless, I think the playful tune matches the world most of the time.”
