The story in "Fishermurs" is minimal and lacks depth, revolving around a lemur's quest to catch fish that ultimately devolves into battling other lemurs for the same meal. Players feel that the absence of a compelling narrative detracts from the overall experience, as the game fails to compensate with engaging gameplay elements. The overarching moral suggests resilience in the face of adversity, but this theme is overshadowed by the game's shortcomings in storytelling.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”

- “There isn’t a story to Fishermurs.”
- “Apparently you’re a lemur on a noble quest to catch fish, and instead of fishing, you battle other lemurs for the exact same meal.”

The monetization of the game has been criticized as a cash grab, with users noting the lack of servers and single-player mode, leading to a perception of it being a lifeless product. However, some reviewers argue that it doesn't overtly present itself as a cash grab.
