  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it enjoyable and well-suited to the game's pacing, others describe it as repetitive and recommend playing with their own playlists.

  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing the importance of not giving up in the face of adversity. While the narrative is considered okay, it is complemented by appealing cartoonish graphics and straightforward gameplay that allows players to easily achieve 100% completion.

    • “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.”
