The story in the game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its depth and character development, while others find it overly lengthy and detracting from gameplay. The option to play in classic mode without story elements is a plus, allowing for a more action-focused experience. Overall, while the narrative has its strengths, including engaging characters and surprising plot twists, its brevity and pacing issues leave some players wanting more.
- “The plot was very well done; each character has a lot of charisma, the game's universe is very well developed, and the conversations are pretty good.”
- “The story is where the passion of the developers really shines.”
- “Smooth gameplay and fun mechanics with a story that's entertaining and an ending that left me thinking about it for a surprisingly long amount of time, like at least a few weeks.”
- “I feel like story cutscenes took up 3x more length than the actual gameplay, so my story mode runs left me feeling disappointed since the story itself didn't quite catch me.”
- “That being said, it's unbelievably short - about an hour to see the whole story for one character.”
- “To a degree where I feel like not having a plot would do better.”

The gameplay in "Code Bunny" is praised for its fun mechanics and smooth controls, allowing players to quickly master the unique abilities of two characters, Hazel and Axel, each offering distinct playstyles. While the game is relatively short and easy, it maintains a high replay value through its engaging stage designs and combo systems, reminiscent of classic platformers like Sonic. Overall, players find the experience enjoyable and accessible, making it suitable for both casual gamers and those seeking to refine their skills.
- “The game is relatively easy; I believe that even the most casual players will play it focusing on at least maintaining a relatively high rank. Much of the gameplay is focused on completing the stage quickly (similar to the Sonic games), which is quite fun given the game's mechanics.”
- “Gameplay is really smooth; it responds well and goes along with the fast pacing of the game. Axel is specialized in acrobatic movement, while Hazel is more of a fast sword slasher, but all in all, they both share the same structure of having skills to make you think fast and finish the stage quickly.”
- “Code Bunny is a really quick game to beat, but don't let that fool you; it's entertaining at every second. Each character's unique gameplay is super fun to master, and the storylines pack quite a punch of drama. Once you're done with the story, the game offers you tempting options to explore its core further and blitz through the stages as fast as you can.”
- “The primary mechanic for movement for both characters just feels bad.”
- “I feel like story cutscenes took up 3x more length than the actual gameplay, so my story mode runs left me feeling disappointed since the story itself didn't quite catch me.”
- “Truly classic game from the 90s, wish this game had more variety in bosses and story, etc. For 480 Indian Rupees for 1 hour and 30 minutes of gameplay (if you don't die once) is kind of overpay, yet still I had fun playing it.”
