The game's story is widely criticized for being nonexistent and unengaging, with players finding the dialogue from a character referred to as a "witch" to be confusing and lacking depth. Many reviewers feel that the effort required to progress through the levels is not justified by the lackluster narrative and disappointing ending cutscene.
“The story is nonexistent, and the ending cutscene is not worth suffering through 20 levels.”
“At the beginning of each level, you talk to a 'witch' who is just a girl in gray shorts. She talks in broken English about fruit or something; I'm not entirely sure as the story didn't immediately entice me.”
“Terrible story, gameplay, and levels.”
