The story aspect of the game has received criticism for its bizarre mission design and lengthy cutscenes, which detract from the overall experience. Players noted that the main story can be completed in about five hours, but the missions often feel repetitive and unengaging, with some requiring players to follow slow NPCs or simply recolor objects rather than achieving meaningful progress. Overall, the narrative structure appears to lack depth and coherence, leaving players frustrated.
“Also, a lot of the time these missions will just uncolor something for you to go and recolor (for example, an NPC walks up to a fountain, the fountain suddenly loses all color and needs to be colored in), so rather than it feeling like you're achieving something, you kind of are just making things the same way they were when you got there.”
“There's this bizarre developer's choice of story missions, combined with cutscenes that take way too long to actually finish.”
“Entire story can be beaten in about 5 hours, maybe faster depending on which upgrades you choose.”
“While I get having a passive story in a game like this, having a mission where you have to just follow around very slow NPCs waiting for the next coloring spot to appear is just frustrating.”

“The game performs very poorly, even on the lowest graphics settings.”
“I also had issues on the lowest setting with key features of the stage just vanishing altogether, leaving one of the story missions extremely confusing until I turned the graphics back up.”
