The game's story is generally perceived as lacking depth, with many players noting the absence of a coherent narrative or backstory to explain the protagonist's situation. While the missions are described as fun and engaging, they often feel repetitive and disconnected, leading to frustration when players encounter glitches that prevent mission completion.

- “Good plot, good graphics, and gameplay.”
- “The graphics are downright adorable, and the storyline is quite interesting; it is a very engaging game to play.”

- “Being forced to pay to get rid of mandatory unskippable ads is unethical, bordering on predatory... no tutorial whatsoever, not even an attempt at a story or explanation of what/why you're doing anything... on top of that, despite being shown 10 planets, there are only 2 playable maps.”
- “I mostly like the game but I guess I wish there was a storyline instead of just constant farming.”
- “No real story.”
