Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's ambiance but may not resonate with all players.

The story of Incredipede follows Quozzle, a unique creature on a quest to rescue her family after invaders attack her village. While the premise is quirky and the main character is endearing, the narrative is minimal, consisting of only a couple of cutscenes, which some players found anticlimactic and lacking depth. Overall, the story serves as a light backdrop to the gameplay rather than a central focus.
- “Incredipede is a qwop-like physics puzzle game where you play as a strange creature named Quozzle, a greenish eyeball creature that is on a quest to find her family after invaders stole everyone in her village except her.”
- “A quirky skill/puzzler hybrid with a lovable main character, a quick and simple story, and an online gallery to share your unique creations.”
- “It also hardly has any story; the whole thing is like two cutscenes right at the start and at the end, and it's pretty anticlimactic.”
- “I honestly didn't pay attention to the story, which involves two cutscenes or so I think.”
- “The game follows Quozzle, a lone Incredipede on a quest to rescue her sisters.”

- “The game itself has some replayability as well.”
- “Mechanics are fairly limited, puzzles get repetitive eventually, and it loses a lot of its replayability pretty quickly.”
- “However, it is a very abrupt game with little to no replay value.”
- “It has no replayability whatsoever and could be completed in a single sitting on a public computer for cheaper than what it is to buy a digital copy of this game.”
