The story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, but many players feel let down by its execution, noting that the 'story mode' concludes too early at level 6, despite the game continuing to level 30+. Overall, expectations were low due to the game's price, yet the narrative's brevity left some players dissatisfied.
“The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Honestly, yes, it was 99p; I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but I can't help but feel let down by this game. The 'story mode' is completed at level 6, but the game finishes at level 30+.”
