The game's story aspect is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its comical elements and character backstories, while others criticize it for lacking depth and variety. Many reviews highlight the absence of a substantial narrative, suggesting that the gameplay is primarily focused on unlocking characters rather than engaging with a meaningful story. Overall, while there are moments of humor and creativity, the consensus is that the story is shallow and could benefit from more development.
- “It has good enough 2D graphics, good variety of characters, a nice game idea and concept, a comical story and epic ending, and it has achievements which are essential to keep the player even more motivated.”
- “It's a really in-depth game with amazing graphics and one of the best stories you'll ever play. The African Swallow is possibly the most developed antagonist I have ever seen, and I really have to hand it to the developer who has clearly thought well into the backstory and past of the characters.”
- “Although it has a great story and is overall a casual game, which would be perfect for playing with your friend by passing on the device, there is also a multiplayer mode, which is unfortunately quite dead.”
- “There is no story, there is nothing.”
- “Maybe if it was free, it would be a different story, but it doesn't have enough content and the only thing you can get out of it is a little amusement.”
- “Don't expect a groundbreaking story here though, or extensive amounts of gameplay.”

Overall, it offers decent replay value for casual play, especially in multiplayer, but lacks depth for those seeking extensive replayability. Future content updates may improve this aspect further.
- “It's a silly and clever game with a surprising amount of strategy that gives it a ton of replayability, and makes trying to unlock all the characters and scenes a lot of fun.”
- “One run through the campaign only takes about 30-45 minutes, but it has a lot of replay value and is a fun multiplayer game for two players.”
- “Very high replay value, thanks mainly to local & online multiplayer mode, and great single player modes.”
- “If you do multiplayer (local or online) with friends, that extends its life a lot, but with only 5 maps and not many characters, it's just not very replayable.”
- “However, the gameplay does not change in the slightest, so this game has very limited replay value.”
- “This game is short, repetitive, not particularly exciting, and has low replayability.”
