The game's story is polarizing; while some players appreciate its underlying moral about perseverance and life's unpredictability, others criticize it for lacking a structured narrative or conclusion, making it feel more like a time-killer than a story-driven experience.

“The unoptimized controller layout was a dead giveaway, if it wasn't fairly obvious with the art.”
“Adding insult to injury, the frame rate is unoptimized as well; you are capped between 42-43 fps even with a good rig, which is quite strange for a mobile port.”
