The game lacks a coherent storyline, focusing instead on touch interface mechanics that detract from gameplay, such as the absence of a task bar icon and reliance on an onscreen keyboard for input. This design choice can hinder player experience, particularly in levels that require more precise interactions.
- “There's no storyline; the game has been designed for touch interfaces to the point where there's no task bar icon. You need to enter your name using the onscreen keyboard, and you drag or click on everything, which doesn't exactly suit levels like the one with the two flippers.”
