story
7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game features a charming rhyming narrative that is enhanced by quality voice acting, unfolding across 96 levels divided into five chapters. Players must complete story levels twice: first to uncover the light narrative through collectible feathers, and then again to achieve a high score by collecting coins. While the story is described as "paper-thin," it adds a unique layer to the gameplay experience.
“To my surprise, it also has some very nice voice acting as you progress through the story.”
“The story levels have to be completed twice, first to grab feathers that tell the paper-thin but voiced story in rhymes, then again to collect coins and get a 3-gem rating based on the mandatory move limit.”
“The twist on top of the addiction of finishing levels with all 3 stars is the narrated and voiced story behind the game.”
“There are 96 levels divided into 5 story chapters and a separate challenges campaign.”
