The game's story is minimal, featuring only two cutscenes, but it is praised for its engaging plot and humor.

Overall, the story is seen as having great potential despite its brevity.
“A great game, it's cheap so you might have no problem buying it, and the story has a great plot.”
“The only downside of it is the short playtime; after a few levels, you already reach the final boss, and that ends the game.
