The gameplay features a "bubble" mechanic designed to keep the group together, which generally functions well despite some flaws. Players engage in a repetitive loop until they meet the minimum requirements for each area, ultimately completing the game in about 19 hours while earning all achievements.

- “We earned all achievements after 19 hours of gameplay.”
- “You basically continue this gameplay loop until you've met the minimum requirements for each area and finish the game.”
- “The mechanic for keeping the group together mostly works, but has some flaws.”

The story is described as simplistic and lacking depth, reminiscent of older adventure games but failing to engage players fully. While it features multiple characters with unique abilities and a quest to collect scattered eggs, the narrative feels flat and is more suitable for younger audiences. Players can complete the main story in about seven hours, but the overall experience does not justify its price, leading to a sense of disappointment among some reviewers.
- “The company is close on point with basic storyline adventure games, which are the best in my opinion because you live and play the story.”
- “Exploring the open world with quest helpers, switching characters, and solving puzzles.”
- “If you disagree and think it's a story, it's pretty flat and not interesting enough to keep you involved.”
- “I finished the story in about seven hours while playing with the kids; however, it was a bit longer to get all the achievements.”
- “This is the closest you will get to Donkey Kong 64, but the story is not as engaging. The characters have relatively different abilities, but they feel the same overall, and the narrative lacks depth.”
