The story is described as quirky, charming, and filled with fun, featuring an adventurous porcine princess and a whimsical setting that includes a variety of missions and engaging characters like talking clams.

You can spend a good amount of time just seeking out-of-the-way goodies here, but your main goal lies within a cadre of talking clams, who usher you into the game's more compact 'main' stages, where you race to ingest every last 'yummy' in sight and sally forth to the next challenge.”
