    • “The story is very basic, the graphics and music are okay.”
    • “The levels have no story or dialogue to them, and nothing new happens in level 14 that didn't already happen in level 1: that is, you don't learn any new skills or upgrades or encounter any new obstacles.”
    • “The story here is pretty minimal, and could easily be expanded on between levels (instead of between every 15 levels).”
