The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the lack of depth and progression in the narrative.

I thought I had to play more levels, which I was around level 70 at that time. It's kind of sad to see I haven't gotten to see more of the story. I don't like the boy in the story and wish I hadn't paired up with him, but still, where's the rest of my story? I need more, because I've gotten bored to the point where I might uninstall!”

- “The biggest drawback and why I've given this only one star: this game is not optimized for a phone. It is so laggy and impossible to move smoothly and play perfectly.”
- “You get like 3 ads per level, you have to watch ads to claim your level items, you have to watch ads to use your currency in the store, and you get an ad at the end of each level whether you opt out or not. The game itself isn't optimized to deal with the ad popping you out, so about 75% of the time it crashes and you have to restart the level and do all the ads again.”
- “App is very laggy, gets stuck, and while it claims to be optimized, it still doesn't work. I can't get the hair because of lag, and the swipe to move controls are confusing. The left and right controller swipes are wrong; this game is so annoying.”
