The game's story features a standard mode alongside endless and Halloween variations, but it suffers from a disappointing final level that culminates in an unsatisfying plot twist. Reviewers suggest that incorporating teleportation or map mechanics could enhance the narrative experience and level diversity.
“You can usually find this game on sale for a reasonable price, but I feel it's worth it as you have your standard story mode, endless mode, and a Halloween mode.”
“The final levels are the absolute worst: it's just one long arena that ends with the most ridiculous plot twist in the last cutscene.”
“I feel the game could benefit from some serious teleportation/map mechanics that would fit the story and allow for more diverse levels.”

“The music pumps you up.”
