The game's story is described as charming and humorous, with a fun premise centered around battling bananas. However, players express a desire for more depth, including boss fights and side missions to enhance the narrative experience, as the current storyline feels limited and repetitive after completing the main levels. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the lack of a robust storyline and additional challenges detracts from the overall experience.

- “Good... I like the animation style and the storyline of this game.”
- “Awesome adventure game, you can really tell the backstory.”
- “It's a great game, but can you add boss levels so we have something to look forward to? After the fortieth level, you should fight the Banana King. Also, it would be nice to have a storyline. I understand that you're supposed to fight the bananas, but what about bosses? We fight the underlings without a storyline or any side missions to do after the last level because you can only do endless mode.”
- “It wasn't that bad, but I think you should consider adding new characters to the game and a storyline that includes boss fights. The last boss fight should be the best.”
- “The plot is just finding and killing all the bananas, which isn't very engaging.”
