- “Like the mechanics and gameplay in this one, nice change of pace for the series.”
- “It's nice to see a developer who normally is making generic puzzle games branch out into something with proper gameplay and an interesting story, and I hope they continue on with this sort of game because I would absolutely buy a full-length game of this nature.”
- “The gameplay is easy to understand and master; it's basically a 2D top-down bullet hell action shooter game.”

The story in the game is generally viewed as weak and simplistic, often serving merely as a backdrop for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative.

Overall, the story is seen as a missed opportunity that could benefit from further expansion and detail.
- “I'd especially love to see a prequel game that shows how that captain acquired his lucky succubus coin in more detail than 'I was drunk and traded some rum for it' and shows how he recruited all of his crew members and got his start as a pirate, as the story starts off in the middle of his career, and it'd be nice to learn more about the characters.”

- “It's cheap, fun, with a story of mutiny.”
- “The story is easily the weakest part of this game.”
- “This game's story is nearly nonexistent and it's literally just you trying to get a harem of waifus that are mostly not even nekos.”
