The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players finding it engaging and reflective of an 11-year-old's perspective, while others criticize it for being inconsistent, shallow, and filled with unfinished plotlines. Despite its chaotic elements and rough edges, the humor and quirky characters provide an enjoyable experience, though many feel the narrative lacks depth and cohesion. Overall, while the story has potential, it often feels underdeveloped and disjointed.
“The story, though somewhat jerky and inconsistent, aligns well with the mentality of an 11-year-old boy, making it quite engaging.”
“I loved the beta game, its style, its humor, characters, and even the story.”
“Patricio was able to create, single-handedly and with a very small budget, this very human and fun story that mixes rock and aliens, all in one place!”
“The story lines are hollow and shallow.”
“There are a lot of unfinished story lines and stuff can be seen here and there in the game.”
“But do not expect a very deep and developed story here.”

Overall, the graphics received mixed reviews; while some praised the lovely artwork and the enhancement of the experience through visuals and music, others found the animations to be unsmooth and the visual elements somewhat disjointed. There is a desire for the in-game graphics to better align with the artistic style presented.
“The great graphics and music add to the overall vibe, enhancing the experience.”
“As for me, it would be nice to see in-game graphics closer to those arts.”
“Lovely artwork.”
“The visuals and audio are slightly off-putting; some elements don't fit together well and seem pasted on top. This would be acceptable if the gameplay and story were top-notch.”
“Graphics are okay, but I didn't like the not-so-smooth animation and the slow, lazy walking of the character.”
“The graphic style of the scenery is lacking.”
