The game's story is minimal, featuring only two cutscenes, but it is praised for its engaging plot and humor. While players appreciate the gameplay and challenge, many express disappointment over the short playtime and desire for additional content, such as an endless mode or a continuation of the story, highlighting the game's untapped potential.
“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. It would be honestly very cool if there was something like an 'endless mode' afterwards or maybe even something to continue the story because I think this game has incredible potential.”
