The game lacks a compelling story, leading to a repetitive experience where players simply progress through levels by defeating enemies, which can become monotonous for those not interested in speedrunning.
- “If you don't want to speedrun, this game probably gets old quickly because there is no story, and every level requires you to go up a bit, kill all enemies, and that's it.”
