The story mode is widely criticized for being extremely short, with many players completing it in under an hour, and lacking depth or engaging narrative. While some appreciate its indie charm and a few entertaining sequences, the overall execution is seen as flawed, with clunky mechanics and excessive exposition detracting from the experience. Many users recommend focusing on the sandbox mode instead, as the story fails to deliver a compelling or humorous journey.
“I thought the story had that indie charm.”
“The story was comical, albeit some parts not exactly explained properly.”
“The one thing I can give the story mode credit for is the spaceship climbing sequence, and the pool sequence.”
“Sadly, I finished the story mode in under 30 minutes and didn't crack up laughing once.”
“On top of being not funny, it also fails to tell a story in an interesting way.”
“If you took out all of the FMV cutscenes, the story mode would be building a car, walking down a road, going up an elevator, building a helicopter, and climbing on a space shuttle.”
